The left hates Palin because she is young and all youth are suppose to be enthralled with Obama. Don't (not you personally) underestimate the attractive power of youth on the American psyche and the Democrats know it. She is youthful and a fighter — two important qualities McCain lacked. If Obama screws up royally — like Bill Clinton — the mystique will shatter for a while and that will be the shoe in for Palin. Palin needs a counter to the biased media and Republicans have to come up with that solution — something they have ignored for years.

The left assaulted Sarah because she represented the wedge issues that fueled the Bush - Rowe victories: God, guns and gays. She was an election winner and had to be destroyed. Obamachev signaled that it was OK to slime her by calling her a pig. We have to admit the campaign against her was successful.

I think McCain made a mistake tapping her with little time to prepare for national exposure. Maybe in 2012, Sarah will be more prepared.

Obama’s position is very vulnerable right now. He has to tread a fine line between becoming a socialist, leftist and the moderate clintonesque rightist. It all takes just one major screw-up. It might be as simple as mishandling Iran (BTW, Iran was the Achilles heel for Carter and very well might be for Obama too). Once, people know there is a viable alternative in Sarah, they will desert him in droves. Then, it will be 1976 all over again
