'Such dreadful heralds'

The Atlantic's Andrew Sullivan posted this on his website today:

“I was surprised about how many people in room said ‘yes’ when I asked if they could see themselves supporting [Sarah Palin for President]. I was expecting to hear what you mostly hear — ‘I hope she doesn’t do it’ or, ‘She’s more effective doing what she’s doing,’” - an attendee at a Palin "meet-and-greet", sponsored by the far right magazine Newsmax, and attended by, among others, Grover Norquist and Ralph Reed.

This is almost certainly an isolated observation. I hope.
