Without people like you that can't get enough of irrationally worrying about her, she's a good looking version of Howard Dean. No sane Republican believes she has any shot of winning anything.

I don't "worry" about her. I know she can't win.

I am, however, astounded that she appears to remain popular with as large a group of people as she does.

The left doesn't like her because she owns guns, her husband is in the oil industry and she likes to talk about "freedoms"

Instead of trying to put words in the mouths of some amorphous group, why don't you just list the reasons why you either like Palin or do not like her?

For example, I do not like Palin's following policy stances:

1. She is anti-immigration and anti-amnesty. I think that as a country that holds itself up as a bastion of freedom and liberty it is a bit inconsistent and hypocritical to put so many barriers in the way of coming to this country to work.

2. She has a military-interventionist foreign policy stance and she has no foreign policy experience. I would be fine with a POTUS who had no foreign policy experience if said POTUS was an isolationist; however, wanting to get involved in something one knows nothing about is a disaster waiting to happen.

3. She throws around the word 'socialism' almost every time she speaks regarding the DNC; yet, GWB and the GOP Congress were plenty socialist and anti-capitalist, themselves (as is McCain, e.g. the McCain-Feingold Act).

4. She is anti-abortion in each and every situation, to include rape.

5. She supported Bush's bailout plan; then railed against Obama's (yet, took the money for Alaska), i.e. she is a hypocrite.

6. She is against provided marriage benefits to same-sex couples, i.e. she is against what even a Civil Union would provide.

7. She is pro-death penalty.

She has no impact on my life so I don't care enough to know what her views are on certain issues. The left sees her and her husband on tv shooting guns and throwing drill pipe down a hole and immediately think they are evil

Ripping Sarah Palin is like complaining about wrestling being fake as if it's a revelation.

I was simply explaining why she grates so many people's nerves. They were the ones who posited that the disdain for her is somehow overdone.

I would like more choices. Paul and Huntsman are looney tunes, Romney has to read the paper each morning to see where he stands on issues and Gingrich can't find a VP strong enough to carry all his baggage. I voted against Perry for Governor and certainly wouldn't want that idiot as President.

He's 100% correct.

If she wasn't being repeatedly parodied and made fun of nobody would remember her.

You forgot about the crappy book and the reality show.

Pelosi is terrible, but Palin is far, far worse. I know we have some ardent moderates on this board, but it's really tough to pose an argument against Palin being the worst thing to happen to women in politics.

Some folks act as if "Sarah Palin's Alaska" was something she just pulled out of her arse.

Like she's the first political candidate to write an overindulgent book or get their own crappy tv show?

Somewhere, Howard Dean giggles.

Exactly. This is why I don't understand why Palin is so singled out? She never even held a national office, and the world hates her? How about we hate the idiots who put us $16 trillion in debt. Forget about that lady who annoyed you. Hate the people that ****ed you over. I'm not saying you should hate anybody, but if you are gonna hate, save it for those who truly deserve it.

The only time during the campaign when I've truly thought Paul had gone over the edge was in a debate when he started talking about a border fence being used to "keep us in". It was so kooky sounding that I literally felt bad for him.

Paul - Gold standard and isolationist.

Huntsman - Saw an article that I can't find now about some things that would come to light with better vetting. His stated stand on issues comes closest to my beliefs. Will add to this when (if) I find the article again.

Moot point now.
