Sarah Palin still an American political heavyweight

Palin's popularity numbers have also edged up in the national polls in recent months, to the point where they were nearly equal to U.S. President Barack Obama's. It is believed that her recent book tour may have boosted her popularity.

'After last week, it's impossible to argue about Palin's influence in the party. She can draw big crowds, sell books and command the biggest media stages... Whether they admit it or not, all establishment Republicans wonder about what Palin has planned for 2010 and 2012,' Chris Cillizza of the Washington Post wrote.

While Palin is perceived to represent the Republican party, a local GOP chairman said that after her recent visit to Roanoke, she has drew many non-Republicans to her book signing.

'She brings out a different crowd. She taps into something that the Republican Party really needs to tap into,' Salem Republican Party Chairman Greg Habeeb said.

Yes, I believe the technical term is "batshit crazy."

She's keeping the Republican's dream alive, baby. (Only problem is that it's something they'd like to forget.)

When the few sane people left in the GOP start complaining that they can't get rid of the hysterical right-wingers, everyone needs to remind them that that's why they shouldn't have invited them in, in the first place.

No need for the dems to be Saranoid, she sucks out the serious runners from the GOP.

I'm about to lose it. I'm about to go T totally off on JojO if he doesn't dispense with the Sarah Palin threads. Unless she's posing in Playboy I don't want to hear anything about the GILF.
