There is a strong case for Sarah made just from the composition of the Electoral College map, and that is the only thing that matters at the end of the day.
There is no way that Barry is going to carry the same states he did in 2008.
There are Democratic states that Barry will get no matter what and GOP states that Sarah will get no matter what.
The toss up states that Barry won are now leaning GOP.
Florida, the normally Democratic rust belt states, the upper South(Virginia and North Carolina) and now I think even New Jersey and New Hampshire will go GOP.
I even think Illinois and Wisconsin are up for grabs plus New Mexico.
Quite frankly, Sarah Palin is the strongest candidate and the Electoral Map is leaning GOP.
That doesn’t mean the liberal media won’t do everything in its power to destroy her and her family and the GOP won’t self-destruct.
In the final analysis, unless the United States starts growing at 10% and we are at full employment, I don’t see how Barack Obama can recover.
I know people personally despise Barack Obama, but from a cool and logical perspective, his presidency has been pretty weak and flailing.

And Republicans have reportedly taken over 100 seats in the New Hampshire House. For the first time in history, the Minnesota Senate will be controlled by the GOP.
