Republicans might be wising up in at least one regard. It appears some people in the GOP have had enough of Sarah Palin. How the party of no has said yes to Palin for so long is baffling, but hopefully those days are coming to an end.There is some evidence that Republicans are now thinking what many Americans have known since presidential candidate John McCain tragically went into the wilds of Alaska to dig up Palin as his running mate in 2008 -- Palin is simply an attention-seeking airhead with no genuine desire to promote anything but herself.
