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?
They are? Where's the evidence of that?
I'm sure most of them are, but again, it doesn't impress me--they don't indicate votes in any meaningful way. These are partisan crowds, the same with the Obama crowds, and that's a nice TV visual, but I don't see where that works as an indicator of voting success. Where were all those voters on election day? (I guess they were enthusiastic enough to travel long distances and/or stand outside for hours to see her, but they couldn't be bothered to vote for her becauser she was only VP nominee?)
Seeing how Romney and others seem to always win the polls at this point, the "who else is there?" isn't any more "concrete" than anything else. I'm not looking for unassailable proof, just indicators, and old pictures of big crowds and "Who else is there?' don't fill me with enthusiam.
Here’s a thread on the 60,000 Sarah got in FL.
