Palin Receiving Death threats at an Unprecedented Rate

It's probably too soon for any calming from the President's speech tonight, but I wonder how the left will spin it if someone tries to follow through. She might file to run just for the Secret Service protection. It would be interesting to know who amongst celebrities and politicians gets the most death threats and how many attempts get foiled. What percentage of death threats result in attempts to carry them out?

Also, I wonder why Palin gets this much attenton form liberals. She hasn't declared as a candidat. I'd like her to gain more experience before running, but even if she announces, there are several other who shel'd have to beat in the primaries. But she seems to strike fear in the hearts of progressives.
