Sorry to copy and past my own bs but....
The Democrats are all about polls and crafting image to reflect sentiment. Sarah Palin is a LEADER of trends. The media just isn't perceptive enough to "get it".
The appeal of Palin isn't her belief set, It's rather her ability to alter prevailing beliefs. She can SELL policy.
I'll bet you this. Palin will get 1 out of 10 or 1 out of twenty pro-choice women to change their mind about abortion. Instead of being some whiny cunt like Hillary who preaches a doctrine of begging white men to give you their taxes, Palin EMPOWERS women. The dem's want women to be just like the other ethnic minorities they keep on the plantation.
