Does the Left Really Fear Sarah Palin?

I hear over and over again how much the left fears Sarah Palin and are terrified that she will become the nominee for president in the next election.  I have never really believed that.  I agree that they have a hatred of her that borders on the obsessive, but I don’t believe that it comes from fear.  It is more like an irrational hatred based on her conservative views. 

It seems that at least of some of the left is not fearing her, they are actually foaming at the mouth for her to get the nomination.  Some have gone as far as to set up a website Primaries for Palin.  The goal is to get democrats to vote in the upcoming republican primaries to ensure that Palin will be the republican nominee.  Just in the past few days they have added a facebook page and twitter account to help spread the word. 

The website also has a section of the voting rules broken out by states as some states require you to be a registered republican in order to participate in the republican primary.  For those states they give notes on how to change registration.  They have created a logo of sorts with some lipstick with the caption nominate the unelectable in pink. 

Their mission statement is as follows:

PrimariesForPalin.com aims to nominate Sarah Palin as the Republican presidential candidate by encouraging Democrats and Independents to purposefully vote for her in state primaries. In head-to-head polls with President Barack Obama, Palin consistently fares worse than other possible Republican candidates because of her divisiveness. If Palin is nominated, Obama has a much better chance of winning reelection in November 2012.

They also have some of the latest polls that show that Palin trails behind President Obama in a head to head competition.  Of course polls at this point mean nothing as it is too far off for these polls to mean anything.  But, they certainly have many of them.  Many more than I realized that were even taken. 

I wish I could say I was surprised by this.  Although, they have not seemed to picked up much steam at this point, they have 54 followers on Facebook and a mere 29 followers on Twitter.  It will be interesting to watch if this starts to catch on as the primary process progresses.
