Re cedarford’s comment — “A poll of Republicans showing 69% of them loved Palin, when Republicans are a shrinking minority of the electorate and independents and Reagan Democrats are moving away from them is a pretty meaningless poll statistic.
What is important is the exit polls that had independents, young women, college grads, hispanics saying Palin hurt the Republicans and influenced their vote to go against Republicans vs. the opposite.”
OK, sportsfan, let’s sort this out. Palin debuted to raves across the spectrum. RAVES. Including the middle-grounders.
SHE didn’t lose the people — the media attack dogs tore her to bits, lied, smeared, slandered, and viciously libeled this good women from here to hell and back.
ONLY THEN did public opinion “turn against” her. But it wasn’t against Sarah, it was against the grotesque caricature the filthy media had drawn of her.
Character assassination, the worst I’ve ever seen (and I’ve been watching politics for a few decades). So don’t comfort yourself that you can spread lies and filth forever without a reckoning: there WILL be one. And Sarah will rise again, you betchya!
