She brought in far more than any of the others on McCain's list would have. A million or more evangelical Christians would probably have sat this election out if she hadn't been on the ticket.
If the GOP primary voters are dumb enough to nominate another candidate as unattractive as McCain next time around he or she had better have another VP running mate as appealing as Sarah to back him or her up. If I were Sarah I wouldn't waste my time and effort trying to elect another unelectable RINO, I would shoot for the top spot or nothing. Put her in the top slot and a real conservative such as Duncan Hunter in the 2nd slot and they would blow Obama out of the water.
Quite possibly. But among independents, conservative Democrats, women, almost any other group you can think of she failed. Thanks to her McCain's loss was a little less than it might have been otherwise. Given her failure to attract support among demographics other than the conservative base it doesn't look like she'd do better in 4 years.
