and that map has any bearing on the present how?
Name ONE state McCain won that Palin wouldn't?
Can't can you, because she will easily carry every McCain state.
The 2012 race will be won or lost in the toss up states, and Palin is very strong is all those states, it doesn't matter if her poll numbers are 10% in California or New York, because we are not going to win those anyway. What matters is how she is polling in the swing states, and I contend she will do MUCH better in those states than McCain.
“Can’t can you, because she will easily carry every McCain state.”
Oh, I think that she will do very very well in the states that McCain won. But that is also just as relevant as a 10% showing in Hawaii and Illinois. I just don’t see her winning any swing states.
