I thought about that. Pairing Cruz with a conservative woman would be a very good idea. But IMHO that woman is not Palin. I just can't see an independent woman voting Cruz/Palin just because Palin is on the ticket. Her personality is just too powerful.
Independents who don't particularly like Palin won't be able to hold their nose and vote for her just because she's a woman. Just my two cents.
We let the Left inform our debates. They say Gov. Palin is an idiot, unpopular, divisive and shrill, so therefore we shrink away from her and search for a Kay Bailey Hutchison Ripon Republican to augment the ticket. It’s like they have a radio control to force us this way or that. Until we get beyond that we’ll keep picking Bushes, Romneys, McCains and Doles.
