“All about style. Needed a woman, Latino, or black.”
People would see it as another Palin style gimmick. If it’s going to work, it will have to be the top of the ticket. That person will have to fight his or her way through the primaries. Cain tried but he wasn’t properly vetted (no political experience just isn’t going to work) so that was the end of that.
Choosing the most popular Governor in America, perhaps in history, was not a gimmick, it was a chance to get a Reagan like reformer, earth shaker, into the white house.
Governor Palin was the strength in the 2008 ticket, not the old, moderate, Senator.
