She’s going to run. She’s done almost everything right since she stepped down as Alaska governor. And this has the establishment freaked out, as the lead story tonight at Politico indicates, “Next for GOP Leaders: Stopping Palin.” Also at Memeorandum.
Rather than being fearful for the effects of the Obama agenda, the GOP Establishment appears to have a greater fear of Palin nomination and the “wrath” of “enthralled” Palin supporters.

Such grassroots, conservative campaigns and candidates gave people like Rand Paul, Joe Miller, and Christine O’Donnell their respective nominations.
