Now tell me why you think that the most popular governor in the United States was not a shoo in for reelection in your scenario, the fact is that she would have been unbeatable for reelection, as it is she still was unbeatable when she actually did leave after the 2008 election and all the constant national effort to weaken her in her office.
"The fact of the matter is that she wouldn't be where she is today without the star-making cachet of having been chosen as McCain's VP. Without that, she'd be a one-term governor of Alaska"
That's exactly what I said. Because that's exactly what she was--an unknown governor who'd only served one term. Less, actually.
Your problem is you don't seem to understand the meaning of the word "one" apparently.

I never even thought about re-election. And obviously neither did she. How do you know she would have run for re-election? There was speculation that she was going to run for senator at one point.
You just decided on your own that she's not a one-term governor. She was, she is. Stop trying to alter reality.

That's completely not true. You need to look at her poll numbers.

You keep spinning and spinning to avoid the simple reality that at the time Palin was selected for VP, she was a one-term governor. Why you can't understand simple English, I don't understand, but you look uninformed, to be polite.
And the simple reality is that as beloved as she is by Republicans, the general public doesn't think she's qualified to be president. If she were the same person but were a pro-choice democrat, neither would we.
