I don’t see drawing crowds as evidence she can win a national election.

Well then, considering that ALL of these people coming out to see her are voters, I don't know what else to tell you since you are demanding an abstract rather than accepting something far more concrete like crowd enthusiasm and size.

Just look at Obama's crowds from 2008...that was clear evidence of his National "electability" (a word I detest!).

So what other Republican besides Palin can generate the same level of intensity in their respective voting bases?

Did you see Obama’s drawing crowd as an indication that he could win an national election?

I have to disagree with you on this, as I think evidence could be made that large crowds were fairly indicative of current occupant of the White House’s popularity in ‘08.
