JMHO you are as wrong as you could possibly be. She will polarize the
electorate, most of which will vote against her. It's just hard to
conceive of a differently-abled person winning the Presidency so soon
after the last one. That idiot jingoism just is not going to sell. At
least not with enough of the electorate to win the election.

In other words, you have absolutely nothing - zippo.

It worked for Obama? Why wouldn't it work for Palin? Add to that that
Palin is a conservative, and 40% of the US electorate says they are
conservative; only 20% say they are, as is Obama, liberal. Should work
twice as well!

The real kicker is that the US electorate is clearly sick of elitists
like Obama and the Bushes, and Palin is ideal...but the GOP, like the
Dems, is dominated by elitists at the moment...we'll have to see what
happens in Florida though.
