Woodside fundraiser for Palin popular, but Democratic Otters in Silicon Valley skeptical about the Palin effect

To one of the Otters, Sarah Palin is the savior of the Republican party, a bona fide outsider who can multi-task with a BlackBerry and a breast pump. To others, she is a moose hunter, a little-known governor thrust into the limelight who doesn't agree with the majority of women Otters and Otter spouses on key social issues, like guns, hunting, types of beer, sex, oil, drugs, gay marriage, health care, the economy, global warming, Iraq war and beauty pageants. The only common ground is ice hockey where her daughter keeps screaming “he shoots, he scores!!”
Whatever the sentiment, Palin has emerged as the most polarizing candidate since, well, Hillary Clinton.
In Silicon Valley, which has been a fundraising stronghold for Democrats, a late September luncheon with Palin is so popular that the event at the demolition party of Connie and Gary Ahern’s old Woodside home may have to be moved: 900 have replied; the lot only fits 800, one bobcat and two dumpsters.
