I could easily be convinced she is indeed "extreme" as you put it, just not "extreme compared to conservative democrats" whatever the heck that means. 2) that last line was very tongue-in-cheak (aka to point out how over the top your "she is extreme compared to moderates" line) 3) if you had said "But, she is not a moderate. She is extreme compared to most Democrats." in your diary we would not be having this conversation. 4) If you don't see how that Palin quote applies to this conversation I cannot help you. Thank you for at least making the effort to respond to my points, even if you twisted them way out of proportion. have a nice day. 1) I never said your end result was wrong…. just the quote.

No where in my piece did I say they needed to put forth people that support our views. My piece is centered on the misinterpretation of her supposed moderate views made by Toobin.
