"Revealingly, Sarah Palin?s potential rivals for the 2012 nomination have not joined the party establishment in publicly criticizing her."

"They are afraid of crossing Palin and the 80 percent of the party that admires her. So how do they stop her? Not by feeding their contempt in blind quotes to the press ? as a Romney aide did by telling Time?s Mark Halperin she isn?t 'a serious human being.' Not by hoping against hope that Murdoch might turn off the media oxygen that feeds both Palin?s viability and News Corporation?s bottom line. Sooner or later Palin?s opponents will instead have to man up ? as Palin might say ? and actually summon the courage to take her on mano-a-maverick in broad daylight."
