Its a hard call the word “Electable”. I tend to read all these comments and basically “assume” that most conservatives will vote for the anyone but Obama. So she would probably get most of the votes of people who don’t squander their responsibilities and just stay home. - Now the independents (I mean the true independents - not those democrats who always say they haven’t made up their mind) will have a clear choice - Palin or Obama. Most at my work are closet democrats but talking to them they are just about willing to vote for anyone but Obama.
Funny thing about the independents at my work - they never vote anything but democrat. They seem like normal people but when you talk to them one on one they say “I’m an independent.” I ask when is the last time you didn’t vote democrat and they say never have found someone other than the democrat they liked. I tell them they are democrats.....

I’ve noticed the same thing. It make sense. In this day of massive political divides, anyone who is independent obviously stands for nothing more than “what will you do for me”. That makes them a Democrat by default since Republicans rarely promise any direct payments to individuals.
I know some “independents” like that. I’ve just started telling them that I’m an “independent” too, but I never vote for anyone who wants to increase the size of government so that always rules out the Democrat.
