Another Perspective on Palin

I read an interesting article trying to explain the left-wing reaction to Sarah Palin. It is one of the best commentaries I have read to date. Sadly, I think it is accurate, not because I am sympathetic towards the former Governor, but because the article finds its critical voice in how Hillary Clinton was treated during the Democrat primaries. I also think it explains the way the McCain campaign treated the Governor as they were worried she would upstage the Senator. Power is the issue with Palin and that scares most of the left and many on the entrenched right. In order to maintain their power, Sarah must be attacked so her supporters see how foolish they are to oppose those in power.
