Fear this, leftists!

*
Matthew Rothschild, editor of leftist mag The Progressive frets over Rand Paul, Sarah Palin, and the tea party movement:
Rand Paul was correct in his victory speech: His victory was a victory for that movement, and it’s not going away.

It’s also larger than a lot of progressives want to believe.

And those progressives who cheer the takeover of the Republican Party by the tea partiers, seeing in it a recipe for electoral victory for Democrats in 2012, may be making a tragic error.

Rand Paul wasn’t the only tea party candidate who won on Thursday. Sarah Palin was also victorious. She endorsed Rand Paul early, and shrewdly invested in the race.

After Paul’s victory, it’s more likely than ever that Sarah Palin will be the nominee in 2012. And then anything can happen. Including her winning the White House.
At least give Rothschild credit for being honest enough to acknowledge his fears, while most other leftists continue to insist that Sarah Palin isn't relevant or that they would love for her to be the 2012 GOP presidential nominee because Obama would be guaranteed a victory against her in the general election -- or so they claim. It's all so much whistling past the graveyard.
