So you’re willing to stick with someone even if you know they’re unelectable?

YOU do not get to decide who is and is not electable. I have given you examples of why you are wrong to do so. You have every right to expound that in your opinion... you do not think that Palin can win... but NO ONE but the voters will decide who is electable... and we do that by secret ballot.

That unelectable BS is something the main stream media put into your head. And you fell for it. They said Reagan was unelectable.

G.O.P. Front Runner Ronald Reagan relies upon a base of support that is on the far right wing of the Republican Party, some experts have long declared that if he wins the nomination, the G.O.P. would simply be repeating the suicidal Goldwater campaign. Ex-President Gerald Ford left no doubt about his views when he warned last month: "A very conservative Republican cannot win in a national election."

You're buying the Romney and media spin. If she runs she'll have plenty of time to make her case, that's what a campaign is for.

That's your opinion, I doubt unshared by McGruff, and I know unshared by a majority of Sarah Palin supporters.

It is also an opinion that cannot be proven given the shifting dynamics of popular opinion and elections.

Furthermore, it is an opinion that can be easily proven shaky just by the history of elections in the US alone, particularly the POTUS election of 1980, where Reagan was behind Carter by 30% somewhere around 10 months before the election.

Lastly, Rudy, for many months, was the "inevitable" choice to run away with the nomination in 2008, he was no longer in the race by Florida. So much for "conventional" political wisdom.

YOu would sacrifice the best candidate for a lackluster candidate that probably wouldn't win anyway.

Not a good strategy.
