Oh come on.
Palin the most recent Republican Veep candidate.
Palin the Republican politician mentioned by most GOP voters as their preferred candidate for 2012.
Palin the most talked about GOP politician on conservative websites and in conservative media.
Cynthia McKinney the uhm... nobody. Last seen as presidential candidate for the Green Party, getting 0,1% of the vote.
Are you really saying that the reason why one has a long thread devoted to her and the other doesn't must be because of lefty fears or obsessions or political bias? How does that make any sense?
As long as Sarah Palin is the most talked about conservative politician in the media, including Fox, and on the conservative sites; as long as she is leading the polls for the GOP primaries in 2012; she will also be the most discussed conservative politician here.
If I were an intelligent conservative I'd be a little annoyed by that too, but you know - you get the figurehead your base throws up. What is left of popular Republicanism apparently wants Palin to be the face of today's conservatism too. Good luck with that.
