Sarah Palin Book Signing - Meet The Fans
Sigh... Palin is not a neo-con. Neo-cons are big government conservatives. Palin is a small government conservative. That's why she's so popular - most Republicans had to hold their noses to vote for GWB the second time and many rejected McCain, because they were both for the massive expansion of government. See for example Spendulus I. Obama continued the trend with Spendulus II.
Conservatives are (rightly) asking where all the money for the Spendulus bills will come from, and the Republican Party is providing no leadership in opposing the expansion of government - the party is nearly rudderless. Even though Palin wouldn't be my ideal candidate for president, I'd vote for most any candidate that was for limiting the size of government. Last year I voted Libertarian (Bob Barr), for example. If Palin ran against Obama, I'd vote for her.
All the liberal FUD aside, her stances on the issues are actually quite thoughtful and reasonable. I've followed her notes on Facebook from time to time:

What it Takes: Phoenix Anarchists face down NAZIS (NSM)
(Ok, point of reference for all you who think that this is an important position - my dad was put in charge of the entire precinct for our neighborhood, mainly because nobody else wanted to do it. There's approximately ten kajillion precincts and their directors, let alone "committeemen". Let alone "former committeemen.")
As much as anarchist idiots would like to equate any conservative with Nazi idiots like these, the fact of the matter is that you can actually be for immigration reform without being a Nazi. Crazy, I know - but true.
Boxer doesn't think he can get knocked out
It basically ended the same way.
