Not entirely. For sensible people, you are correct, and Governor Palin's status as the best imaginable candidate and best imaginable president would be enough. However, we're talking about the far more numerous but equally important low-information swing voters. We can't throw away any possible advantage just because it's a stupid reason for a vote. Governor Palin, like all female candidates, needs to find a good hairstyle before she runs. The one she experimented with last night was not a good choice.
