"Just to clarify the comment regarding the infamous Gallop Poll that is floating around that states "71% of Republicans" would vote for Palin in 2012, it also shows that since only 21% of Americans consider themselves Republican, the actual number of registered voters that would vote for Palin, based on that poll, would only be around 19%. And even that 71% would drop once another high profile Republican stepped up in a Primary, which we all know one will. http://www.gallup.com/poll/121514/Americans-Political-Future-Palin.aspx And to the commenter who claimed I was a rubber stamp journalist, my thoughts, views and humble opinions are 100% authentically mine. Based on my life, my work, my experiences, my family and my feelings about the world. No one else's. And I make no claim that my opinions are no more or less valid than anyone else's. -Meghan Harvey, writer"

"Mrs. Davis is in fact a Republican, but when writing this article I purposely left out her party affiliation because I felt that her personal views, as outlandish as they were, did not represent the views of her party. "
