She has to support McCain. Forget what he did or didn't do later, he put her on the map. (Same with Scott Brown; the GOP told him to take a hike, but McCain and Giuliani supported him.)

Similarly, thank God she didn't come to Massachusetts, or we'd be talking about Senator-elect Coakley. Palin is loathed by the libs here and they'd have gotten their uninspired butts out to vote against her.

The story most people here don't seem to want to talk about is that Brown won because he dealt with what IS as opposed to what we'd LIKE to be true. And the truth is, Palin isn't as beloved in the country as she is by folks around here. Also, Brown is a FISCAL conservative, and a social...moderate, at best.

We may have to accept that abortion and other social causes simply won't be on the radar for awhile. Yet this may in fact be what will bring a return to the focus on social conservatism; it's amazing how young people are turning out to be pro-life.

If we can establish the GOP as the party of smart budgets and cutting taxes, we may be able to them move the conversation to other issues which, were they issues in this particular election, would have ended with a Brown loss.

So, it is about social issues ?

Are you saying that if Palin were pro choice, or a lesbian, she would be in better political shape politically ?

is that what America is now ?
