“Every single person of this kind who comes out against her only fortifies my belief that she is the one they are all afraid of.”

Indeed. Proved everyday.
Even on THIS board there is a tremendous amount of energy expended in trashing Governor Palin who is supposedly unqualified/stupid/uneducated/shallow/vacuous and untimately unelectable.
So if she is just another of those ... ahem....genial dunces....why does she make you soil your drawers, fellas?
The things that I find appealing in her besides the obvious ones mentioned before such as being unabashedly pro-military, pro-life and pro-domestic energy, is the degree of energy, independence, and assertiveness that she displays.
Plus, I view the fact that she's able to pick up a weapon, is not only not intimidated by it, but can use it to shoot a moose which she would then butcher and bring home meat for her family. It's obvious to me that this is not a populist fabrication by her handlers, but is who she is and what she does.
Funny, I saw this photo during the campaign where she was talking to the president of Colombia, and this Photoshop I did was what popped into my head immediately upon seeing it:
I find it amusing that people label her with the populist label. Sarah Palin is probably the closest thing to a real live honest-to-goodness middle-class person that has been included on a presidential ticket in a long, long time it is interesting to see the same people that hammer George W. Bush for his Ivy League education hammer her for her unsophisticated education.
Just goes to show, politics crosses all kinds of boundaries
