Hello Captain:
I'll give your three questions a go...
1) As everyone knows, the MSM is in the Democratic Party's corner. I remember reading somewhere that something like 92% of the MSM votes Democrat - making them the most reliable voting block the Dems have. The reasons for this support have been explained by people better informed than I when it comes to the history of it all. But, in the end, it comes down to a common belief that the rules of "holding people accountable" apply to everyone else but them.
2) Sarah Palin is the average blue-collar woman that Hillary pretends to be. Leftists are all about symbolism over substance. When someone of substance gets in their face (but is from the "other side"), it's like proving to a true believer that their religion was wrong. They are going to react viciously.
Furthermore, if Sarah Palin were to ever become VP or even (someday) president, it would be a clean-sweep for conservative women. Golda Meir, Indira Ghandi, Margaret Thatcher, Kim Campbell, and Benazeer Bhutto were all women and all conservatives (relative to the politics of their countries). these were women who didn't complain about how tough it was being a woman in politics. They didn't draw attention to their gender and they never-ever cried (or feigned crying) in pubic.
Palin getting to power would be proof that conservative women have a superior approach to politics - and (unlike poor Hillary) a woman can get elected without riding the coat-tails of her husband. This would totally ruin the leftists need to see women as inferior victims (being held down by conservatives, of course) and they can't have that.
3) Most people who support leftist causes (from Hollywood celebrities to the dorks in the photo you show here) have one thing in common...they believe that success is all about luck:
They believe that, if Person A has been more successful than Person B, it's because they lucked out in that they were born with good looks, or to a rich/well-connected family, or they were in the right place at the right time to impress the right boss into giving them a good job. To those on the left, hard work has little to do with it...so they give up easily. They "let themselves go" and don't bother dressing better, getting an education, trying more than once to get a girl, etc. That's why they have that perpetual "look-of-a-life-long-D&D-player."
Since they believe that they are not masters of their own fate, they are stuck in a perpetual state of waiting for the miracle (read Obama) to come and make their lives better. Then, they'll be able to say, "in your face" to us evil conservatives who actually got a useful degree, or failed a few times (and learned from those failure) before becoming successful, or actually got shot down by girls a few times before realizing that dressing a little better, trimming your ear hair, and trying again might gain you some success.
