Sadly, I know a LOT of GOPers that will never vote for her. I love SP, but we need a uniter.
Sarah Palin is a uniter, only a Governor that is a uniter could win 93% approval and have the highest approval rating of any Governor in America, and be recognized as the most popular, elected official in the United States.
Dividers win narrow victories and hold on due to small, intense margins of favor, they do not become beloved by almost the entire electorate, Palin has a long political history as a uniter.
That being the case, what, exactly, is the loss? What is the downside?
Besides, they have almost 3 years to get the religion.
If Palin is so anathema to them, what, then is the appeal of Romney, Huckabee, or any other DIABLO? Why would the rest of us vote for these boobs, when we can go out and vote for the real thing (any Dem)?
Those “GOPers” you're lamenting about will soon face the prospect of “fish or cut bait”. I fail to see their value in the party.
And should they remain intractable in their anti-Palinism, then in the end they'll just end up voting Democrat, only to be offset by the rising number of Indies and conservative Democrats that find Palin appealing.
Change, whether they want it or not, is fomenting nationwide, and a goodly number of them must realize as presently constituted the Old Line Republican Party is a thing of the past. They can either get with the program, or get washed away by the inevitable tsunami.
I'd be happy either way.
