The Democrats are licking their chops saying that she would be easy to defeat. The Democrats don't understand the groundswell that is building not necessarily for her but for the same basic beliefs of her supporters that parrallel those of the President Reagan years of the people. Reagan was not expected to win-------George Bush, Sr. was the the preferred candidate to run against the Democrat nominee. Reagan's Grassroots Movement rumbled along up to the National Convention when Reagan and Bush came together. Together they pulled off a major coup in 1980. Reagan was at 28 to 30% in the spring of 1980-----a real dark horse candidate. The Democrats had no idea of the ground swell building for Reagan------- until Democrats crossed party lines to vote for Reagan in the General Election. Northern Virginia government workers who don't vote in Primaries showed up in droves to vote against the Democrats. Will the same happen in 2012-------very possible whether with or without Palin as a candidate. Make no doubt about it Palin is a part of the process whether running for office or working on the frontlines for Americans or behind the scenes. mj
