Wait, but what about Sarah Palin???
Is there a Dem Party version of this chart?
Seems like there's another rock star out there:

Palin greeted by 20,000 enthusiastic supporters
No matter where she goes, Gov. Sarah Palin continues to draw large crowds to her public appearances. Recently she was able to use her popularity for an event publicizing the needs of those with autism and other developmental disabilities in the New York area.
When she appeared in Auburn, New York, more than 20,000 people turned out to see her when she helped celebrate Founders Day and raised money for a museum honoring William Seward, secretary of state when Alaska was acquired for the United State
Palin continues to speak out against the growing government solutions to the U.S.'s economic, energy and national security problems. At the speech in New York, she said
Alaskans get tired of hearing that Washington bureaucrats know what’s best for us so we push and we fight and we challenge decision made inside the beltway when they’re not in our country’s best interest. And we know decisions being made lately are not in our country’s best interest.”
Before she spoke, the crowd attending chanted "Run, Sarah Run" and applauded and cheered when she talked about her recent refusal to accept federal stimulus funds because she determined there were too many strings attached. She made a point of her resistance to universal energy building codes emphasizing that the
veto of the money was not political but, 'made common sense.'
There is still no doubt about it, Gov. Palin is still a popular political figure and will continue to be so whether the Republicans like it or not.
