Well, there's opposing her (and I certainly didn't and wouldn't vote for her), and then there's this mean-spirited almost-glee that I keep hearing/reading from left-wing/progressive bloggers, etc. anytime she makes some slip up, or one of her family members does, or somebody makes a joke or says something bad about her, or anytime some wild rumor comes out about her. "OMG, did you hear that her son might not really be hers but he's really her daughter's and they're just trying to cover it up - bwahahahaha!!!"

I don't know how far on the left I am anymore...compared to Palin or Mike Huckabee, I'm probably pretty far left - compared to Noam Chomsky or somebody like that, I'm probably a Fascist. "Moderate liberal" is currently how I'm describing myself.
