You had a semi-good rant going there until this...yikes.
Name anyone who can draw a larger, more enthusiastic audience than Sarah Palin, or who has/had a coast to coast ground team of volunteers already organized prior to their entry into the primary?
Since we're only discussing popularity here, which of the declared candidates has sold more copies of a single book than she has? Which of them is so popular, that they were offered their own mini series on television? Who among them was more highly sought after for their endorsement during the 2010 midterms? Care to compare Sarah's Google hits to any other Republican politician currently running? How about number of Facebook fans? According to CafePress, Palin's gear outsells the rest of the field, combined (I've got the chart if you want to see it).
Few things about Palin are as unquestionable, as her popularity.
That’s a different slant. I agree. She’s a big celebrity. Lady Gaga has 43 million Facebook fans. Michelle Obama has 6 million. People love ‘em !
I thought you mean popular as a politician. My mistake.
