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.

You sure don't have much to offer, you don't like her and you keep giving little nasty opinions on her and the American electorate but they are just your own little personal remarks, they just don't carry any weight and I doubt that many of us are interested in your own opinions being repeated so much by you.

I'll give my opinion about her youngest son and her granddaughter being alive and her and her family having to pay a price for that, I think that Governor Palin has moved the pro-life movement ahead by a huge leap, it isn't just conservatives that can put the pieces together and figure out that more than most, the Palins knew what the costs of not aborting those babies were and they chose life, the family is a real life example that convenience is not worth the life of a child and the media constantly remind us of that story with their attacks.

I wonder if this chart and the Palin familie's living, breathing, pro-life tale that may be the first one that the national media ever covered to this degree are just a coincidence?

There are a couple of things I dont like about the ‘pro-life pro-single Mom issue’ being the major theme of this possible candidate.

1) It reminds me that the pro-life movement has become pro-single Mom. Like Bush calling single Mom's heros and giving them special tax credits for having babies. Its the 1990s welfare reform going pro-single Mom. It seems like a moral movement gone wrong.:"Goodbye two parent families, we stand for more babies"

2) For someone who so many groupies think is the next Reagan ,Palin’s major win on liberals is not on the issues, it was getting Letterman to apologize about his single daughter sex joke. The groupies went wild over it , “She got Letterman to back down. Our hero!” This is very bad to have as a major news theme. It's the whole “I'm a victim” theme, very misguided. We need someone who beats them on issues NOT on repelling personal attacks by stand up comics. It's like if Hillary said “Jay Leno attacked me as first Lady, so I am ready to be president”. But she didn't. She did the Senator thing first getting her name on a number of bills and issues nationally.

3) It looks like IMMORAL Clintons were somehow able to teach Chelsi that being a young single Mom is NOT ideal. "Why didnt they teach Chelsi to have babies and drop out of college?" This is so ironic but the groupies cant see how this would kill Palin in a general election, blind as they are. I dont blame Palin for her daughter but defending it negates any standing on moral issues to be used as an election theme against democrats except among the hardcore.
