Political Quote of the Day

If you remember the New York governor's race, there was a colorful Democrat character in the race who became known as Jimmy "Rent is Too Damn High" McMillan.  He's now determined to take on Obama in the presidential race and was recently asked about some of the other potential candidates.  The quote that caught my eye was what he had to say about Sarah Palin (h/t Cubachi):

What do you think of Sarah Palin? Would you consider her for VP?

Love her. Constitution. American citizen. Exercising the right to privacy. Free speech. Haters — those who don’t like Sarah Palin. That’s what they are. Sarah Palin: I love you because America gives you the constitutional right to do whatever you want to do as a woman. And people don’t think you can do because you’re a woman. They try to make a mockery out of you. But you stand up for your rights and stand strong for your rights. And don’t let anyone try to cut you down. Not only are they talking about Sarah Palin. They’re talking about me.

I think he may have stumbled on the reason she appeals to so many people. They relate to her and take the attacks on her personally.

And that's also the reason the left is so obsessed with trying to destroy her.
