Is Palin causing a schism in the GOP?

it'll be interesting to look at her in-state poll approval numbers year-to-date, at the start of this campaign (August) and now.

But as they say...don't let the fine-ness fool you, if people didn't pay attention to Alaska...a lot of people will now.

Matter of fact...peep this article out....go underneath the surface on this one...

Even this story suggest acrimony between Palin (resign) and the state party (stay so the party can appoint the seat). Clearly, nobody is falling in line and speaking with one, unified voice. It sort of speaks to the point an earlier poster in the thread made about political currents within parties, what factors help which currents emerge.

I just still don't have a sense of how "dominant" a politica figure (if at all) Palin was/is in Alaska.

agreed...or how dominant she will be should she return.
