Times sure have changed for Palin, though, many people still don't know what to make of her. Say this for her: her power to draw a crowd has grown exponentially.
But this time in Madison, on a blustery snowy spring Saturday, the people mostly came out to shout her down, not give her money. Tea party protest supporters and opponents alike were curious about the Alaskan, who spoke at the King Street corner of the Capitol.
One counter-protester, Leslie Taylor of Madison admitted, "I'm dying of curiosity to see what kind of people support Sarah Palin. Although, I'm seeing more protesters than supporters." Taylor was carrying a sign, which she says she took from a bumper sticker, "Palin 2012: the Mayans warned us," referring to an interpretation of Mayan prophecy that has the apocalypse coming next year.
