Have you listened to the entire conversation yet? Because, I can assure you that the sale will be made once you listen to it. :)
I think Gov. Palin has a lot of great qualities but in no way is she ready to lead the country. I think McCain showed a serious lack of judgment when he chose her. That's not saying that I won't vote for him given the alternative, but I do think he turned off a lot of independent voters. Are people actually serious about Palin running in 2012? If picking Sarah Palin is the best that the GOP can do to fire up the base, I'll be looking for an Independent party in 2012.
