apropos of anything

I know that one or two people who drop in here occasionally are fans of Sarah Palin, and I know I’ve made my opinion of her pretty clear. But I would like to know — why do people like her? What is it about her that makes you think she is a good vice presidential candidate and a qualified person to step in to the presidency if necessary? I really am asking to understand and not to mock, and I promise to immediately delete any comments that are rude or disrespectful to your opinion.
