Dismissing Palin's popularity as just a reaction to her appearance is a pretty cheap shot. It's this kind of sexist crap that makes the Republican party so unattractive (though, we all know the Democrats are just as sexist):
Palin is the party's rock star."Some of the people who had excoriated me and really been very dismissive of me for views that I had taken, and labeled me anything from a populist to an ignoramus -- the same people have been very defensive [of] and laudatory to Sarah Palin," Huckabee noted, adding that he'd invited her to appear on his weekly Fox show but "could never get any contact."
"I'm glad she's getting the props -- I know I'm not nearly as attractive," he said with a guileless grin.

Truth and honesty should be praised.
Not ism-ized.
As a lefty, I pray to Jesus daily that Sarah Palin will attract the 20% of the nation that identifies itself as Republican. She is the GOPs beast of burden, ironically created and empowered by the GOP elite. Palin fans are dumb enough to think that Californians, New Yorkers (think District 23), Floridians, etc. will vote for Palin and Palin-styled candidates. I'm glad they feel that way. I want the Club for Growth to oust every single 'RINO' there is. It'll be so beautiful in 2010. Praise the Lord!
the huckster is honest, he's not as attractive. but he's just as dumb and ineffective.
new age cowboy, i completely share your hopes! let the GOP tear itself apart.
