By leftists (not just Democrats - ALL leftists) and RINO progressive Republicans.<br /><br />She is that threatening to them. By these foolish actions, she is getting more and more evidence each day that, should she choose to run, she will bethe one to beat. I believe most people are behind her, but the MSM hype makes many believe the opposite.<br /><br />I have NO DOUBT that the Sarah team(s) are going to have sifted through this email doc drop and be ready to counter anything. But......the MSM just keeps making her the victim.<br /><br />Fools. Americans love an underdog. Americans distrust the MSM more then ever. They just don't get it. They keep giving her power, a platform, and a reason to support her - like her or not.<br /><br />There is a pretty good indication that only about 24% of the public are leftists (from the polling recently that only that many of the American population identify with Obama's ideology). Sarah has a shot at the other 76%, and has no doubt more than a few already on her side, given Hot Air polls, recent Iowa polling, and other indicators. <br /><br />Keep exposing their lies.
