Palin supporters rally around her not due to facts, intelligent discourse, or reasoning, but rather due to emotion, unsupported "belief", racism, and hatred.

Exactly. When she made the stupid statement that Senator Obama "pals around with terrorists," she was speaking for and resonating with every ignorant bigot in the…

We Democrats never saw Obama as more than a President, whereas the Republicans tried (in vain) to paint us as blind followers through their shameless propaganda.

Do any of Palin's detractors here, people who undoubtedly regard our mainstream media as perfectly objective and unbiased...
