Although I have written several columns expressing my admiration for Sarah Palin, I admit I have never taken her seriously as a 2012 presidential candidate. I've always felt that her greatest asset was as a kingmaker and behind the scenes advisor. In addition I've assumed that she wasn't that interested in pursuing the job but rather enjoyed making waves in the liberal media. The more I read the continuing attacks on Palin and her family I've started wondering why the Democrats and their media lapdogs fear her so much. Even some conservative pundits have determined that she is unelectable because of her high negatives. Those negatives are actually bogus and based on lies and misinformation and there is really only one word to describe Sarah Palin - indomitable.
Bill Maher played to the lowest common denominator and insinuated that Palin was a "dumb tw**t" and his moronic audience cheered. Ari Fleischer, a former press secretary in the George W. Bush administration, said recently that he couldn't see "any way, shape or form that [Palin] can win" the White House. Naturally there was a Public Policy poll that determined that Democratic and Independent voters would vote for Charlie Sheen over Sarah Palin. The fact that there was even such a poll should indicate the vigorous campaign to minimize her credibility as a serious candidate. Who's paying for these skewered polls anyway?
The anti-Palin campaign stretches to foreign media where Canadian TV columnist John Doyle writes in the Globe and Mail that television forever killed Palin's chances to be president. He writes: "television duly destroyed the Palin authenticity. The arc of her national political career began with a defining speech at the Republican National Convention in September, 2008,

Your mother’s calling. Time to come up from her basement for dinner.
If your mother ever made you mind her or ever disciplined you for not minding, then you my FRiend have submitted to female authority.
I feel for your wife.
Good thing that's just an opinion. Now, go read up on her actual record, and find your opinion of her adjusting itself upward.
“I try to think,...”
Try harder, much harder.
You should have retreated two posts ago idiot.
Pissant!!!!!!!!!
I know what you mean but the level of irrational hatred she generates in the Left convinces me she can win. It would not waste its murderous fire if it didn’t think she could win. It recognizes her charisma. A natural charisma far more powerful than the fake charisma is generates for the Left. And the massive crowds she drew were confirmation of their fear. Had we had just about any other candidate she would have pulled them over the line.
Americans are incredibly gullible and 40% of eligible voters do not care what happens. It is a disgrace.

She was the Only reason McCain HAD any votes,Man he was a hated Bastard!
Leadership is rather arbitrary but not limited to males. There have not been many good female rulers but they do exist. Sarah is one of those few it appears and the Left thinks so too as its actions clearly show.
She stepped down from the governorship to spare the state endless legal harassment from the Democrat party and its media. It has just finished with the suits they brought wrt to the state police. If she were still governor another suit would be immediately filed if one already hadn’t been.
So, either you've ignored her unrivaled qualifications, ground-breaking accomplishments, and tailor-made executive experience, or you're just a venal, prejudiced imbecile.
Frankly, neither is acceptable, and both are why we're suffering the O'Bunghole presidency right now. Nice job.
;-\
Our young children most certainly do.Thats what this fight is about.
Wow! Did you come up with that all on your own?Gee, how smart you are.
Ping!
The “She” who is Baronness Thatcher, had more game than any man since Churchill.
And just a reminder; we don’t “submit to the authority” of our presidents. We are Americans, and submit to no one. Submission is for muslims. Is that how you see yourself?
I disrespect those who do not exercise their ability to control my person. I sure as $hit will not do it for them.
That is the most incomprehensible thing I have read since reading John Kerry's account of his Veit Nam service. For your Muslim like thinking of women as lesser beings:
