Krauthammer has the thesis that Palin cost McCain his experience card when he beat Obama on experience 93-7, a more overwhelming margin than Obama beat him by on change. Yeah, she really hurt him there.
Hopefully in 2012 Palin has the same thing going for her that Reagan did in 1980...a failed liberal President who’s incompetence and uneptitude is beyond all doubt.
Sadly, the minds of the voting public have changed quite a bit since 1980. But here’s hoping a true conservative like Sarah can still win.
