Now I understand Palin love. She's just like them. I still laugh when somone rants about the fairness of Fox News and paints the rest of the media as biased. I predict the Fox market share to shrink as the Republican base becomes a more extreme and isolated faction. The Republican moderates who have endorsed Obama would rather vote for a Democrat than be tied to those expressing hate, ignorance and racism. Maybe the "base" can move to Alaska and work to start their own country. Todd Palin knows a thing or two about secession.

Then you have these guys from Stanford University going and registering in Ohio and then confessing that they were not aware of the technicalities of the law. Give me a break.
