From what I heard, the Neocon faction of the GOP had been trying to court Palin as far back as the summer of 2007. Whether that was because they wanted to run her more nationally, or just as part of their inter-conservative tussle with the Paleocons (Palin had been a Buchanan supporter, once) is still unclear, however.

Either way, the wannabe Philosopher-Kings don't look especially smart.

I've never assumed that the current crop of republicans is particularly intelligent. More like 40-60 year old half-bright frat boys with inherited money.

That sounds like a description of a bunch of bankers/stock brokers.
