Well, she does seem to be hacking (and surviving) one of the most vitriolic media attacks of personal destruction journalism in history. The paroxysms of hatred directed at this woman by Democrats and their pals in the media sends one clear message: Sarah Palin is the one they fear the most. They don’t expend this kind of effort on anyone unless they believe that person is a serious threat to their power. If they truly believed the nasty things they say about her they would simply ignore her. They would very much like to have a John McCain type be their challenger in 2012. They would have liked Mitch Daniels. That’s why they were saying nice things about him until he announced he wasn’t running. But Palin scares them out of their wits. I love every minute of it.

If Palin runs, not clear at this point although it’s looking more and more like it, the primary process will either do her in or prove her mettle.

The one thing Republicans must do, if they are smart, is not let the Democrats and the media choose their candidate.
