Palin has always had Libertarian views tempered with social and foreign conservatism just like Reagan.

she believes the best way to get more freedom and liberty is to adhere to the platform and planks of the REP party. a platform and planks that most of the GOP elite have forgotten.

She differs with Libertarians on such things as alliances, Israel and the role of government on things like the drug war etc.

but Ron Paul will most likely agree with her 80% of the time.

Palin is a much better chance of winning in the general because of this.

“Palin is a much better chance of winning in the general because of this.”

IOW, covering all the bases and the views, leaving questions as to her convictions... like a seasoned but shallow politician.

One thing, though, she has proven she cannot take the heat. She quit.

The right wing taliban are are just as delusional and some of those on the left.

Sarah, ron paul, and others are good on 80 percent of the issues yet some want to cast them off.

Its utterly ridiculous, immature, and the sure fire way to have barry for 8 years.

To 13 - Your summation is well stated as well as accurate.
Palin attended a Yankees game with Giuliani, I'm willing to bet some conservatives were just sure she would come out with a statement in favor of gay marriage and abortion.
