Ok Palin haters here is some more of the real truth about her and what she now has the power to do, if she so chooses. I don't know what she will do but here are some suggestions of what it could be, in the end. Actually, right now she has more power than any of the real Republican "power" men.
And what of that national role? There is a deep fracture in the Republican Party; this is a situation that anyone can see. Palin didn't cause it, but she has come to symbolize it...because she is loved by the grassroots of the party, and that same grassroots has come to despise the party leadership. While professional GOP politicians in Washington engage in games of incumbency, triangulation, and vote-buying, conservatives across the country have never given up searching for another Reagan - a conservative politician who can imbue optimism, carry forward a message of pride in our country, strong national defense, and fiscal conservatism - thus reuniting the traditional factions of the party. Many already believe that Palin is that person, and will accept no substitute.
Sarah Palin already has the power to destroy the GOP, simply by taking her constituency off the field with her. That's why I've always viewed the attacks on her by other GOP politicos to be colossally stupid - especially given the fact that she strictly obeys Reagan's Eleventh Commandment and never herself criticizes another national Republican figure. But her power base also gives her the ability to remake the party, and apparently this is the role she has chosen. By using the financial resources, volunteers, and bully pulpit that she can command, she can shape the candidates and the message for the conservative movement. And this is a role in which national Democrats should fear her, not some purely speculative 2012 or 2016 presidential run.
It's going to be fascinating watching her on the battlefield, free of the constraints of both Alaskan state politics and the incompetent McCain campaign. I can't wait.

If what you say is true--and I highly doubt that it is--Palin will succeed in doing two things:
1) creating a neo-con movement that becomes the laughing-stock of the country, and
2) empowering the Republican party by relieving it of its ignorant base, and leaving it to rebuild itself as the "conservative" party. At that point, many Republicans who decamped at the horror of Palin will no doubt be brought back into the fold.
It amazes me how people are scared so scared of Sarah. she is a real normal person who knows what it's like to just live and raise a family. and she has many good ideas for our country and Alaska. i back her 100% all the crap her and her family took including the disgusting remarks about her Son and her Daughter just show how low the libs and the Democrate will go.rock on Sarah you have my support.

Laughing stock! Why, of course, you are part of the decadent Laughing Party, it will only be fitting for you to laugh during your own demise.
Keep on laughing, sleeping with wax figures, or whatever the hell it is you Democrats do.
