Mark Blumenthal notes that "a quarter of all Republicans [give] Sarah Palin a strongly favorable rating":
It means that should Palin choose to run, she begins with a relatively large and enthusiastic base of fans who can contribute funds, attend rallies and — perhaps most importantly — might be motivated to vote in a low-turnout caucus or primary. The fact some Republicans strongly dislike Palin does not negate that potential.
My feelings entirely.
