Hillary Clinton is the Sarah Palin of the Left

One is a grandmother beloved by members of her party in an almost worshipful way, who charges six figures for speeches and has the media drooling to report everything she says.

The other is Sarah Palin.

Whenever a conservative woman enters politics and gains any kind of traction, the liberal media inevitably calls her "The Sarah Palin of ____." They did it to Kelly Ayotte in New Hampshire, they did it to Joni Ernst in Iowa and just last week they did it to potential presidential candidate Carly Fiorina. The underlying premise of the articles is always that these women are as stupid as the Left's caricature of Palin.

Outwardly the claims are about Republican women who seemingly come out of nowhere and have the potential to become party rock stars. It's the rock star part that applies to Hillary Clinton. (Obviously she didn't come out of nowhere, she rode there on her husband's coattails.)
