Are you not concerned about her ability to handle situations on the fly, or her ability to process new information and think about it critically?
Anyway, it's difficult to ignore such a dangerous and misleading voice in American politics. Not that it matters. Ignoring her won't change much. If anything, she'll sell that as "the elite's indifference/apathy regarding the problems facing America." She might not be the best debater, but she certainly knows how to push the conservative populist rhetoric.

She's got the folks behind her that will ignore most of her mistakes and focus any, however slight, mistake the other side makes. Really it's the same people that stood by Bush regardless of how poorly he preformed. Good news is they only make up about 1/3 of the voters right now. Palin will need to really rally her base, she not going to win over any new folks. This why she sticks to Facebook and Fox News. She and her people know when she gets in front of any other audience she's seen for what she is... an empty pant suit.

Right! Sure you don't wanna re-think that one? You will never appreciate how humorous this is given the incoherence you and others present on the Palin issue.

Wow, you may have something there. Or she became popular with a % of the country after McCain (who's probably still kicking himself in the ass) picked her name out of a hat as a last ditched effort to save his failing campaign.
If you believe she did this because she has some special talent then maybe you believe William Hung became a household name because he sang "She bang" so well.
