SARAH PALIN DRAWING HUGE CROWDS ALL ACROSS AMERICA

The answer to THIS question WILL decide this election IMHO.
FReegards,
David
The crowds showing up to hear her would indicate affirmatively that she has motivated the conservative base and a portion of ‘independents’. I think the only question is whether it will be whether McCain himself can win over enough other voters.
YEs. Next question.
Of course Sarah Palin is enough to get McCain elected. She is the only reason McCain is competitive at all.
Sarah + Joe the Plumber + the socialist plans of BHO + the promise to protect life + winning the GWOT = McCain win.
BHO supporters consist of: AA’s, young stupid people, the MSM, and now ultra-RINO country club Republicans. Last I checked, they didn’t make up 50% of the population, so we got a chance.
Governor Palin sealed the deal: I went from holding my nose for mccain to bragging about supporting Sarah.
It’s not conservatives I’m worried about anymore.
It’s mush-minded moderates and swing voters...who at one point a month ago were mostly leaning McCain, but have now drank the Obama kool-aid hook, line, and sinker according to recent polls.
THAT is what worries me.
In past times, the people of a town realized that when the enemy was at the gates, they had to stand together to defeat him. Petty differences about who was the better baron, or what storekeeper vended the best goods, or who baked the best bread (i.e., who is "conservative enough"), were set aside for the greater cause of preserving the town, because without that the other things were moot. We need to recognize that the barbarians are at the gates now, and if we don't stand in the breach, who will?
"but is she enough to get conservatives to pull the lever for McCain ?"
If Obama himself isn’t, I really question the thought process of the so called conservatives. Palin on the ticket should only bring a smile on their faces when they do vote for McCain. Not voting or voting for a third party is a vote for Obama IMHO.
I agree with you regarding McCain, myself I would have been very happy to see Huckabee in this race - I am a huge fan of FairTax.
I think conservatives need to understand exactly what is at stake here and we might as well take the course that many are taking in regard to their vote about Obama.
Let’s vote for Sarah Palin because she IS conservative, PERIOD.
I am sure they will call us racists for it but we need to stop the Obamanation from happening...
Many people (including a handful of conservative pundits that should know better) have been convinced by the media that Sarah Palin was a horrible choice and reflect badly on John McCain. McCain and/or the GOP need to run ads explaining, in some detail, Palin’s accomplishments in Alaska — the gas pipeline and standing up to the oil interests, turning in corrupt members of her own party, cutting spending, and basically her leadership in getting things. done. If they raise Sarah Palin’s boat, they’ll raise McCain’s boat and they need to do that.
You are asking the wrong question.
Is Obama not enough for conservatives to pull the lever for McCain?
If not, why not?
DUDE, this base is energized like NEVER before, at least since Reagan, and that is largely but not COMPLETELY due to Palin-—McCain himself took on a little of the “Reagan magic” just by picking her, and lots of people flocked BACK to him because of it. His performance since then has been imperfect, but on balance, he has finally come out of himself as much as he’s ever gonna, and the prognosis for his election, in my eyes, looks good.
Obama doesn’t have as much crossover appeal as is being widely publicized now. The only way he even MIGHT win is massive voter fraud, which, if it is uncovered, (and believe me, it looks like it will have to be) will make this a hotly contested, hotly investigated, and decidedly ruinous experience for Obama. Remember the first contested election of 2000 was due to what was politely termed a “mistake”, with the old lady Wexler voters, then morphed into ballot irregularities, malfunctioning machines etc. and then “voter suppression”.By the end of it, it was obvious that the entire electoral process had been tentatively “deconstructed”. ACORN was probably around then,also, developing its fraud chops, but this time around they are a MAJOR player in the outcome of this election. Jennifer Brunner, for one, needs to be indicted before it’s too late.She has obviously received her legal counsel and marching orders as to how important her “swing state” could be to the election. If the results are at all close, this could be very ugly.
I would have held my nose and voted for McCain anyway - but I will vote enthusiastically for this team, and am happy to be supportive financially, and with my time because Palin is on the ticket.
I'll be voting for the First White ex-POW War-Hero to be President.
Yes
David, we’re ‘pulling the lever’ AGAINST Obama. I could never knowingly vote for a Marxist.
As an individual Palin has done more for a ticket than any ticket since LBJ brought more electoral votes than Kennedy to their ticket.
But is that enough to overcome the weakness of McCain. Note that it is McCain who hurts McCain and not Obama. For example, McCain-Feingold could be the single biggest reason McCain loses.
But the big difference is the ground game. In ‘94 we had the Contract with America. That energized us. But it did not get us to the polls on election day. There are many energized supporters who never vote.
The Ground Game of the Moral Majority/Christian Coalition is what turned “energy” into votes. Since ‘94 we have, for the most part, not had a ground game. OH and FL in 2004 are an exception. In contrast, From day 1 20 years ago, Obama has been all about the ground game. Why is Obama doing well in MT? The ground game.
Perhaps you should start making one of your little lists of people who won’t vote for McCain. You can show it to us after the election.
What does the Obama campaign know?
Obama knows he can't possibly win this election without massive voter fraud in 20+ states.
We just need to get real, living, legitimate voters to show up and vote for McCain/Palin on November 4th.
