Sorry, Hunter was given a chance to "roar", and he didn't. Palin did.
Palin was selected for her ability to attract a sizeable portion of the electorate (women candidate to offset a black candidate.) A white male just wan’t going to cut it in this PC election. Now that we’re over this silliness, a white male may again be viable. Again, I love Sarah, but Hunter has a long-proven, courageous conservative record under his belt.
