Not sure where you're going with that one.
The name of this game is victory. Palin is Conservative. Palin has the bona fides of ethics and corruption fighting. Palin is not an insider. Palin is a maverick in many ways.
Initial reactions to Palin's choice is positive, from many sides. Especially the disaffected Clinton supporters. If this choice translates into votes, it will be a victory at least *I* can live with. An Obama victory spells death to us all.
I don't expect McCain to champion conservative values, and I don't want an unknown, unproven female Quayle type wife and mother of 5 from Alaska thrust into the forefront of conservatism to articulate hopefully the conservative message either.
Of course there may be upsides to that with the womens vote, but the repercussions of having her as a step away from being this nations' Commander-In-Chief is not something that will cause me to sleep peacefully at night. Maybe if it were Ann Coulter, Laura ingraham or Tammy Bruce, I might feel a lot better bout things.
