Should I follow Palin on Twitter?
I'd like to know what she's doing when she tweets something stupid, OTOH I'd have to follow her.

2. Do you really want to pad her follow count?
Just create a saved search on her instead

4. No need to, the media already does that for you.
Whenever she farts, its national news now, so no need to follow

5. What? Dual (bilateral) elective limb amputation is not an option?
Uggh.

Follow one of the key Alaska blogs that exposes Palin, like the Immoral Minority: http://theimmoralminority.blogspot.com/
or Mudflats: http://www.themudflats.net/

Let them filter the crap, so you don't have to, if you simply must know what is going on with Palin.

9. By all means other than money, support her all you can - she divides the Republicans
Every Teabagger she holds dear is one more wedge in the divide that exists in the Republican party faithful. Palin supports the unacceptable fringe, she dulls interest in the Party proper for the somewhat conservative side of the "swing voter' bloc. So hold her dear while she's around, but don't send her a dime or pay one to see her. Let her drain as much funding as she can attract from the pool of republican donors too.

14. except in this case the tail wags the dog.
Despite all clear indications - which can't be missed by all Republicans - that the woman is an idiot they still feel compelled to give her great vocal respect. This can not hurt Democrats who are left in the enviable position of running against a house divided.

12. When is she NOT doing something stupid though? I mean if we are to believe in that good old adage

"stupid is as stupid does," then it stands to reason that since Palin is stupid she would always be doing or saying stupid things.

I try to maintain my outrage/indignation at a reasonable healthy level and I feel like if I had a 24/7 link to the "Grifter from Wasiller" I would be beyond that threshold all the time.

13. She gets way more publicity here on DU than anywhere else, so you might as well just
keep reading DU and follow her here.

ha ha. It's funny how so many people on a Dem website worship Palin/limbaugh/beck/etc and want to follow their every move.

15. I've decided to keep the Saved Search
It's better because it also gives me tweets of people making fun of her.
