Is the GOP finally seeing the light? Via Andrew Sullivan/US News:

national party figure ready to run for the White House. "She's just not

mishandling of her by Sen. John McCain's campaign, and subsequent
family issues such as the most recent
, the father of her first grandchild and ex-fiancé of her daughter Bristol.
It seems to me that there are two warring wings in the GOP - one wedded to some resemblance of reality, and the other, so out of touch they genuinely believe Sarah Palin would be a good President (and are taking part in the Tea Bag debacle/Glenn Beck revolution etc).
