Go ten rounds with the preacher in the ring

Sarah Palin is at a book signing in Orlando this evening. The crazies started camping out last night so they could worship her. Here's a sample of her fans from the other day in Ohio (who sounded pretty similar in the News 13 interviews this morning here in Orlando).



More up-and-downism on the Palin circuit.



Meanwhile, but not intellectually too far away, the GOP, through Committeeman Jim Bopp, Jr. (who - big shock! - is also general counsel to the National Right to Life), released its ten conservative purity principles yesterday:

(1) Smaller government, smaller national debt, lower deficits and lower taxes by opposing bills like Obama’s “stimulus” bill
(2) Market-based health care reform and oppose Obama-style government run healthcare;
(3) Market-based energy reforms by opposing cap and trade legislation;
(4) Workers’ right to secret ballot by opposing card check
(5) Legal immigration and assimilation into American society by opposing amnesty for illegal immigrants;
(6) Victory in Iraq and Afghanistan by supporting military-recommended troop surges;
(7) Containment of Iran and North Korea, particularly effective action to eliminate their nuclear weapons threat
(8) Retention of the Defense of Marriage Act;
(9) Protecting the lives of vulnerable persons by opposing health care rationing and denial of health care and government funding of abortion; and
(10) The right to keep and bear arms by opposing government restrictions on gun ownership.

OK, stop laughing now, and let Sullivan take it down point by point.
