I can't tell you how many folks in the East view her as a moron, and didn't vote for McCain because of her... She is easily turned into a caricuture by the MSM, and if she ran again, you've just made Tina Fey and SNL tons of money in constant parodies...
If someone can provide us with how she can win moderates and some who are slightly to the left, would appreciate it...
We had a solid weapon last year - Zero's inexperience... that weapon is gone in '12... Sadly... IMHO, there's NO way she gets close.
What conservative isn't easily turned into a caricature by the MSM? THERE ARE NONE! The same as how absolute parody naturals as Bawney Fwank, Nancy Pelosi, and Al Gore at his purple-faced, pop-eyed worst, are never parodied by the MSM.
To consider how "easy" it is for the MSM to turn a conservative into a caricature as a reason for rejecting a candidate is a guaranteed strategy to lose and to let the MSM dictate your every move.
I have ZERO interest in voters in the northeast. We are not going to win in that part of the country, short of a landslide, it only weakens the GOP to try to appeal to them, or those on the Left coast.
