Very valid points. She is a problem election winner. She also won a lot of votes in 2008, despite a terrible top of the ticket. The exit polls and post-election polls were rigged to create a narrative for the left that she was a turn-off, that they used to continuously bat her over the head since. She still would have a hell of a battle to win a national election, but this shows she has the capability to pull it off.

exit polls showed Palin helped McCain. never saw an exit poll that showed otherwise.

The McCain camp wass stunned by her announcement speech. She came on like gang-busters. At the convention she outshone all the other speakers—only Rudy came close, I think. And McCain, talking about having a hard act to follow: he just looked old.

Not only did the left go after her because they sensed a future star but the GOP establishment also denigrated her, to save McCain's reputation.

I watched McCain's face in news clips where he'd be looking at Palin and I could sense the resentment he had against her for outshining him before the whole nation..

If Palin enters the race, which I doubt, it would be her, armed with a spear against the left, MSM and GOP establishment, all with nuclear arms!

Actually, when it's Juan "Lettuce" McBackStabbingAisleReachingRINO, we refer to the Presidential candidate as the "ass end" of the ticket.
