Dude, did I ever say she won the pageant? Given that she is an average looking woman coming in second is even good for Alaska. If you don't see the pattern of success does not mean it is not there.

The fact remains that there are few within the party hierarchy either in DC or the state houses that have anything positive to say about Palin.

Also, the other-side of this is the possibility in a competition for power - those within a hierarchy may not be accepting of seeing someone leap-frog over them in that hierarchy. A meeting of Governors in 2008 will have very little meaning three years from now. Huckabee is still my first choice in 2012, but Palin is second at this point. It is not going to serve the Republican Party's interests to throw either one under the bus at this time.
