Democrats and liberals have a problem on their hands with Sarah Palin.

If she is seen as credible in the next several months, they will have to deal with her for at least 20 years. They must destroy her as fast as possible.

For those of you who are still on the fence in this election, sit back and watch the fireworks. As you observe the show, keep in mind that what you are watching is mostly fiction, but fiction with immense consequences.

Palin has the potential to change the political landscape of America in a fashion that has seldom been seen. She makes Obama's reason for being elected relatively, outside of ideology, irrelevant. She changes radically the position of Hillary Clinton. Her success would move the geographical center of political power away from the two coasts, and it would energize conservative politicians and causes.

If McCain wins, it is highly likely that the election of 2012 would be between two women. I have maintained for decades that the first female president of the United States would be a conservative. I would find out if I am correct.

Palin has the potential to unify much of the frustration that average people have had with the Washington power elite, with the press, with lawyers, with education bureaucrats and with a power structure that is all show for the public and all self-interest behind the curtains.

This woman MUST be taken out.

This will be a problem on two counts.

First, irrespective of the left's talk about the downtrodden and oppressed, liberals' relationship with most people is to save them, not to become one of them. They believe themselves to be smarter than you are, they went to better schools than you did, their opinions are more valuable than yours and their culture is superior to yours. They congregate into culture enclaves where they talk to each other, adore each other and generally ignore the rest of the world as much as possible. This is going to make it very difficult for the left to deal with Palin.

They will instinctively attack her on the wrong issues.

Second, whatever is put up against Palin will come back. Here's the problem. Being young is good, because McCain is old, but Palin being young is bad.

Not being part of the inside power structure is good because it gives Obama "fantastic powers of observation," but for Palin it magically becomes very bad.

Being an elitist is bad. Obama has tried his hardest not to be seen as an elitist, but not being part of the elite is bad for Palin.

Having little experience is OK because the experience you do have as a community organizer and a one-term senator is enough. Having little experience is very bad for Palin because being a mayor and the governor of a state is not enough.

Having small children is great if you are a male running for president with a working wife, but very bad if you are a female running for vice-resident with a working husband.

Having underrepresented groups gain the highest offices in the land is very good if you are Obama, but not good if you are Palin.

The Palin problem is that she is a female from the wrong class, from the wrong state and a graduate of the wrong schools. She is physically attractive in the wrong way, she dresses wrong, and she is not part of the correct power elite. Liberals, journalists and feminists instinctively don't like Palin or any other woman similar to her.

Since many will find her very attractive on a subconscious level, their dislike will intensify to hatred on a conscious level.

That is the problem.

Unless she goes off the tracks, she will attract the women the elites can't tolerate and look down upon. She will attract men of all classes who value real life more than ideology.

The Washington power structure, the media, the education elites and the feminists will not be able to control their disgust and will further alienate themselves from the mainstream.

Democrats, liberals and the media have only a few months to destroy this woman, or they better pray hard to Mother Earth that she makes a terrible mistake. Otherwise, for them it will be a very long 20 years ahead.
