The constantly discordant note for me is that the political class (which Romney abides by) always wants to court the ‘independent voter’ as if they are all moderate mushminds who are offended by taking any stances on any issues and only respond to non-committal, mealy-mouthed limp-wristedness. But the real ‘independents’ I’ve always found, who are indeed in the vein of Reagan Democrats, actually respond most to old-fashioned strength and convictions. In other words, the exact opposite. Frankly, I’m not convinced Romney is selling too well with this group that Palin is talking about, and thus the need for shoring that up.
