The Palin appeal is pretty much limited to the rural values voter. Good luck trying to win a general election with that coalition.

Nothing wrong with rural values voters. McCain was a drag on the GOP ticket. IMHO, if McCain died one day after nominating Palin, she would have carried Ohio for the GOP.

I assert that point, because I canvassed my Ohio County with our GOP Congressional hopeful, Dick Stobbs. The County GOP ran out of McCain-Palin yard signs; yet no one wanted leftover McCain yard signs on their lawn.

And my former congressional district, back in the Peep's democRat Socialist Republik of Illinois, RINO McCain was wholesale slaughtered. And the conservative GOP hopeful, Steve Miller, gathered more votes in the district than RINO McCain did.

White guilt liberals, voter fraud, and flaming racists gave Ohio to Obama. Funny, of 88 Ohio counties, only the counties sporting major universities and ACORN registered park benches gave Ohio to Obama.

Cheers,
OLA

I never said there was. My only point is that they are only one part of the center-right coalition we need to put together to win.

Values voters alone cannot deliver an election.

Unfortunately, they don't seem to realize this and seem to want to jettison the rest of us.

I agree. McCain is worse than Palin. Palin at least can inspire one of the three parts of the GOP base. McCain doesn't inspire anyone, not even the national security conservatives.
