Sorry but that is just a groundless claim and it doesn’t even ring true, if anything Romney would not only lose republicans but he would at the same time inspire the anti-mormon left to vote and activate, Mitt Romney would not attract PUMASs, instead he would motivate Gays and blacks to a hate frenzy, while at the same time leaving the religious republican base uninterested and no one is whiter than Romney and the Mormon religion.
Palin is a hugely charismatic woman with a Native American husband, African religious connections and mixed race children.

I am not trying to sell Romney but all those Palin factors you mention valuable BEFORE her introduction to voters have been overtaken by events and media characterization of her. The mother factor is negated by the single grandma factor, a weapon dems will continue to use.
