I think what we will see next is a big schism in the tea party between the Sarah-lovers and the Sarah-haters. If that happens, it is essentially the death of the tea party. You just can't talk that talk for long before it catches up to you and it appears that it did. Palin seems to be in hiding now. Those who worked with her on McCain's campaign said that her bubbly public persona is offset by her private moroseness. When things don't go her way, she becomes very depressed and uncommunicative. I imagine she is a manic depressive right about now and her handlers will not allow her to be seen in public that way. If I'm wrong, where the hell is she?
