Those of us with long memories (and long teeth) remember the daily savaging Reagan had to endure from the day he landed on the political scene until the last day of his presidency. Paul Krugman continues his assaults on Reagan even now; beating up on a dead guy is all that midget's really capable of.
So it will be with Sarah. The attacks will intensify, and they won't stop once she becomes VP. If anything, they'll be even more vile, even lower, and ultimately more anti-American.
Bottom line: Governor Palin and her family will need lots of protection, support, and askable-tellable love from the rest of Team America.
Dig in.
Re-read your post #12 this thread.
How does it feel to be a prophet -- all but the after becoming VP, for that substitute losing the VP. But still...
Cheers!
