“...not going to be elected President because she is a woman. It is a reality that we should not ignore.”
I strongly disagree. Don’t forget that Obama only received about 52% of the popular vote. Furthermore, Gov. Palin was the only reason McCain received as many votes as he did. Gov. Palin connects with the average conservative. Unlike McCain, she is genuine.
Your assumption has no merit. After all, we now have a black President. There are many conservatives, including myself, that would vote for Gov. Palin if she ran for the President of the United States.
