Party nominations are not elections. How many elections, on the other hand, has Governor Sarah Palin won? Yet she’s considered unelectable.
City Council, Mayor, Governor. Aside from VP, the only race she lost was when she ran in 2002 for Lieutenant Governor and failed to get the nomination. As for an individual considered electable or unelectable, you have to see exactly whom is calling them that. The only people who call Palin unelectable are those terrified that she could win. Those that call Willard electable are those that know he can’t.
