Why Saracuda So Terrifies Dems

Dick Morris and Eileen McGann put their finger on why Sarah Palin so terrifies the Democrat establishment that its media wing is willing to risk the last of its credibility among moderate Americans to tear her down. They cite a September 8-9 Fox News poll that goes beyond showing her to be the most popular of the candidates:
On the question of which of the four candidates best understands what day-to-day life is like in America, Palin finished first, with 33 percent. […] She's not popular because she's a radical feminist or pro-choice advocate. It's because she understands what it's like to be a woman in 21st century America.
She's never ascended to the elite, so she doesn't need to stoop to conquer as most well-heeled feminist leaders must. She lives far from the plastic pseudoreality where a fossilized ideology substitutes for human compassion and empathy. As such, she rises above the slogans of both the left and the right and proposes to bring to Washington a dose of reality — a taste of real life.
In other words, she is the Anti-Obama: not some slick package disguising a bogus ideology, but a real person. The reason establishment journalists in their condescending phoniness hate her with such sputtering ferocity is that she is us, miraculously poised to dethrone the elite. So much for the Democrat pose of representing the people.
