Dissent Of The Day II

A Texan reader writes:

I've been following your thread on Palin and am not as fearful as you are. I agree with all of your opinions of her but don't fear her. What keeps my sanity is this. She is drawing only the Bushites' adoration. They are the ones that feel she is the future of the party, America and perhaps even God himself. They are a small contingency in a shallow pool. For God's sake they still think Bush was a great President!



Even in very red Texas there are plenty of Republicans that did not vote for McCain because of her. And they still find her to be a farce. They see through her facade and understand while she is attractive and charismatic that's all there is. They were and are appalled that she could have been that close to the Presidency. Now I'm not saying some of these sane Republicans won't vote for some of the candidates the tea baggers put on the ballot but they won't vote for her.
