The answer to that is two fold. One, see my response above. There are some seriously heavy weight backers in the Republican Party who see her as a candidate who could be popular, especially amongst the base. They are more than happy to have a figurehead President whom they can control from Blair House and continue with their policies and agenda.
Two, the media are basically inept. They think that, by bashing and making fun of Ms Palin, they are showing how clever they are. They ignore that they look foolish and they give her tons of free publicity, especially among the base, who basically hate the media for being snotty.
