She's no dummy. She is filling a very interesting place in the party and the media.
She doesn't understand the issues. She was governor of a state that is smaller than most cities population wise and quit because she couldn't handle it. From everything I can gather, the movie is pretty accurate. No one fears her. I think team BO was praying she would run. If she somehow managed to get the nomination, BO would win all 57 states. As long as she is out there she hurts the Reps. Only a small lunatic fringe likes her.

Sorry to break wind and/or ranks, but as far as 'folk heroes' go; S.Palin is about on par with Johnny Appleseed. Who's Johnny A, you ax? Exactly!

Nice enough person, she is.

Using woids beyond her reach, she began to feel like Stallone after people thought he was actually oafish, judging him by his 'beliveable' character Rocky. He got a vocabooLarry coach and 'tore it up' on talkshoes. I heard him use adroit one time. Swear. To. God.

Sarah should do charitable work. Having her voice changed would be a start.

OK, setting aside whether questions about obscure religious practice is bigotry...

So....

When do religions become religions?

In the case of Mormonism it's less than 180 plus years, right?

When can we expect the same for Scientology?

Or the Unification Church?

Because I would hate to be bigoted about them, also.

Lots of people look at Christianity and Judaism the way you look at Mormonism and even Scientology...these people are called atheists (very intellectual folks like the late Christopher Hitchens for one)...how far do you really want to go down this road?

Last time I brought up my venture into running security for a deprogramming organization and running around No/So America kidnapping people from religious cuhlts - Scratch 'kidnapping', we called it 'snatching' people from cults - I was accused of being a dreamah; with little meat on the bones.

So anyway, we done never got the green, or even yellow light, from a family asking us to rescue someone from The Morms.

I'm startin' to feel the PercyCueTion of your people. I'm seeing some bigotry of me boy, Mittzsky.

I sleep well knowing the ACLU & MSNBC are going to expose this silent bigotry of Mormonism.

Gee, I wonder what kind of numbers Palin would be racking up now. More than likely would have pulled-out, ala Huntsman, Perry.

Christie ain't going nowhere. I like my CandyDates well vetted. I don't need no Guiliani married to a cousin, type. Christie may not have skeletons in his closet but there has to be a pop tart or two.

OMG, I have SO many questions.
- Did he mention me at all?
- Was he wearing a jacket & jeans (My favorite outfit of his)
- Was Ann by his side?
- Did you smell Brylcreem at all or is it Vitalis?

So what was the event, Ely? Does Romney appear confident? Relaxed?

Any details would be interesting details.
