Palin Sticks to Her Paul Revere Story

I gave Sarah Palin the benefit of the doubt on the Paul Revere story. I thought she misspoke. I mean, what kid didn't learn "The British are coming! The British are coming!" But Palin was asked and insisted Revere was warning the British:

"I didn't mess up about Paul Revere," replied Palin, a paid contributor to the network.
"Part of his ride was to warn the British that were already there. That, hey, you're not going to succeed. You're not going to take American arms. You are not going to beat our own well-armed persons, individual, private militia that we have," she added. "He did warn the British." More at AP

And yet, despite her many flubs, her many flaws, her giant ego, people listen to what she says. People still believe she could be president.
