As a former liberal, I must absolutely positively totally disagree with you.
Back in 1993, I watched Rush Limbaugh a few times on television, out of curiosity. I was a liberal back then, and thought that he was very smooth at avoiding all the questions I would have asked him, to which he obviously didn't have any answer.
Then, while I was in the game room/bowling alley of the student union, the Phil Donahue program came on with Rush Limbaugh as a guest. I watched for that hour, and was positively riveted and amazed. Phil Donahue was asking the questions that I, as a liberal, wanted asked (so as to show that Rush didn't have the answers). Rush responded to the questions, which I was sure would stump him, clearly and unequivocally. I didn't agree with his answers at the time, but the fact that he could actually answer such questions, and that he did so without stumbling or equivocating, was something totally new to me. It didn't instantly turn me conservative, but it definitely planted some of the seeds.
Sarah Palin did great in her interview. There were a couple spots that were edited to unfairly make her look bad, but since the show was so obviously chopped to pieces (F minus to the editor), I expect that if she can show the real truth she'll win over a lot of former liberals.
