Despite the pronouncement by several members of the mainstream TV media that she would be only a 'brief phenomenon that Americans will quickly grow tired of hearing about,' Sarah Palin remains in the top news headlines.
Palin is now clearly a star of the GOP, perhaps its greatest hope of resurgence, in addition to other rising stars such as Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal.
As a fresh face with a fresh voice with a charisma that made John McCain look as if he were nearly a corpse, Palin is still the talk of Washington and the news media.
Even Camille Paglia of Salon.com likes Palin.
And clearly the venom directed at Palin from the entirety of the mainstream media is indicative of a deep-seated fear that she will come back and trounce Obama in 2012, given that her popularity remains incredibly high and she draws massive crowds that rival that of Obama.
Michael Barone joked at one point during the campaign that the reason the mainstream media hated Palin so much is that she failed to abort her Downs Syndrome child.
While such a theory, if it were serious, totally discounts the real reason for the hatred, such a notion may not be quite so far fetched. The Left detests conservative values, such as the sacredness of human life.
But the hardcore Leftists within the movement go much further. They think that it is an unstated assumption that any woman who discovers she has a baby with Downs WILL have an abortion, as if such a move denotes some sort of moral obligation to save society from the costs of caring for the imperfect.
However, it is Palin who deserves the accolades for sending the Left into a frenzy over the fact that she would dare give birth to the imperfect and care for the child lovingly and honorably as any moral, ethical human being would.
If Americans cannot embrace the natural goodness of someone like Sarah Palin, then perhaps we do deserve the government we just voted for ourselves.
As for Palin's frame of mind these days, post-election, she says she is ready to put the brutal Campaign '08 behind her and look forward to 2012.

Dowd, Quinn Gang Up on Sarah Palin Today
The attack dogs of the far-Left in the mainstream media plan a coordinated attack-blitz on GOP Vice Presidential candidate Sarah Palin today in the New York Times and the Washington Post.
Both newspapers plan to put their premier Leftist women, Maureen Dowd and Sally Quinn, at the forefront of the attack, delivering what they hope to be a one-two knockout punch on the Alaska Governor.
Dowd and Quinn will claim that Palin isn't qualified to be President, in spite of the fact that the head of the Democratic ticket is an untested rookie who is more mouth than anything else. They plan to attack her conservative politics. They even plan to attack her religion.
You see, liberal elitists such as Dowd and Quinn look askance at anyone who is not only deeply religious but who belongs to a denomination that is conservative and evangelical. This is why in their view Barack Obama is okay. He belongs to one of the most extremist liberal denominations in the world, the United Church of Christ, which endorses liberal politics nearly 100% of the time.
Palin, on the other hand, is Assemblies of God, a conservative, evangelical group that tends to be suspicious of liberal politics and its adherents in leftwing 'Christian' denominations, where one hears more about liberal community activism than Jesus Christ.
Dowd and Quinn hope that their vitriol against Palin will rally the feminist troops out and about, turning them against the very first woman who actually has a good chance of being elected to the 2nd highest office in the land.
However, look for the Dowd-Quinn smear campaign to backfire in the faces of Democrats. Millions of women in the heartland of American detest the views of Dowd and Quinn, that is, if they have ever read them. Most probably have not even heard of the two extremists, and even if they have, they are not inclined to give proponents of abortion-on-demand and big government nanny-state programs the time of day.
Dowd and Quinn totally misread the mindset of most women in this country. Sure, radical feminists will agree with them. But most American women are anything but adherents to the Dowd-Quinn school of Leftist thought.
And when they see these two mount a concerted effort to destroy a very popular woman with whom they can connect at a very deep emotional level, they will turn against not only the two writers, but the New York Times and the Washington Post, as well as the extremists within the Democratic Party who seem to support only those women who espouse ultra-liberal ideas.
