She Makes All The Right People Angry

The best way to tell for whom to vote in presidential elections is whom the candidates make angry, and how much. Sarah Palin has almost locked up my vote forever.

Charlie Rangel recently referred to her as "disabled" (Hat tip: Allahpundit). Canadian tax dollars funded this statement that Sarah Palin is "white trash" (Hat tip: also Allahpundit). And there's so much more.

It's been, quite honestly, a blast. I hate to see someone like Sarah--it just seems fitting to use her first name, or perhaps Mrs. Palin--trashed endlessly in national news outlets, but she seems like the type who can handle it. (That may be what they hate most.) However, it's been enormously entertaining to see the pent-up elite condescension and arrogance come bursting forth in a flood of the sort of hate-filled expression one rarely finds outside of college campuses and the occasional high-school classroom.
