Why Palin Isn't Going Away

Ed Kilgore says to think twice about Palin's chances:

This base of support for Palin — maybe not that large, but very passionate, and very powerful in places like the Iowa Republican Caucuses — isn’t going to abandon her just because the Serious People in the GOP laugh her off in favor of blow-dried flip-flopping pols like Mitt Romney or blandly “electable” figures like Tim Pawlenty. To her supporters, mockery is like nectar.

I don't disagree. But that is the reason why she is so dangerous to the Republican party. She is a kind of poison pill. If she becomes the leader of the national GOP, the wilderness they are now in will seem like an oasis.
