I don't necessarily disagree with anything you've said in your 15 Feb 10 - 12:53 PM post, akeneton. I'm just saying that it's not so much of a foregone conclusion that Palin could be the person that would do that. For two reasons... she is entirely wedded to her "brand" and her drive to increase her income, and because of this, the people who really are as you describe the American electorate can see right through her. The teabag movement has determined that she is willing to sell out what she says she stands for in order to line her pockets and suck up to the king makers. They've rolled her under the bus because of her endorsement of John McCain instead of the candidate they preferred in Arizona, and because of her $100,000 speaker fee at the recent teabagger convention. She's on their shit list now.
