Just a few reasons I see is:
1. Like we agreed she would break the media matrix
2. They couldn't use the war on women bs
3. conservatives would not have stayed home, millions did stay home as they weren't motivated to vote for Romney
4. Palin has “it” . that would have been obvious if she were the nominee. NO amount of liberal media lies would have beat her as they have to show her speaking especially in the debates and she was the destined leader . Well she has “it” like no one else imo anyway. She would have increased voter turnnout like no other for conservatives anyway
yes it would have been close because of the power of the evil media but that was our last chance . only chance again in 2016 is if we get a depression and we run a woman or minority preferably palin.
“2. They couldn’t use the war on women bs”
Didn’t you watch them use that very topic against Palin (because of her pro-life stance)? The number of white women who opted instead for the mulatto and white guys (Obama/Biden) showed just how successfully it was used against Palin in particular (McCain was no threat to anybody but himself).
“4. Palin has it.”
She would be touted as the loser of any debates she won just to keep her down in the polls.
“only chance again in 2016 is if we get a depression”
We already have one; it didn’t help because the media just repeated for four years that things were just fine...
Americans are stupid people.
