Well, obviously I can’t speak for every republican out there, but I can say this, she’s excited a base that was less than excited as far as I can tell.
$10 Million in 3 days over a holiday weekend for the McCain camp is something that cannot be ignored. The dynamic of the conservative base has certainly shifted among those I have spoken to since friday. From one of largely moderate to unenthusiastic support to one of true excitement.
It’s really a mixed bad within the conservative base.
I think most will vote for McCain even if they don’t like his pick ... but many are NOT happy with the pick, the role reversal (Mr. Mom) and pregnant daughter situation. They just don’t want to voice it because they feel bad for Sarah. Role reversal (Mr. Mom) and the unwed pregnancy is NOT a conservative posture nor does it play well with conservative Christians ... .
