I guess a certain portion can be written off to ignorance, but a large percentage seems to involve willful compromising of values and standards just to pull for someone who's on the same team, no matter how flawed they are.

...a third view, that you can pick up from reading the likes of malkin, coulter and hannity is that palin represents Conservatism - they're invoking the spirit of ronnie raygun and saying she's just like him. she's just the type of no-nonsense, go-get-em type gal that doesn't need things like an intellect...

however, ronnie had the party behind him to pull the strings - they're cutting hers as fast as is humanly possible. the only way i can see her running in 2012 is as an independant - and she'll be shot to even more pieces with both parties on her case and only fringe bloggers fighting her 'cause'.
