uhm that is because palin did not go in to politics with the plan to make it a career. she began as a pta mom, like many of us have done. she was ENCOURAGED to run for mayor and again for governor. her “career” was not planned. she is not nor has she ever been a “career politician” as much of our party is now.
she did not seek out a VP slot, again she was approached and asked to serve her country. a opportunist seeks out these positions, not the other way around.
you may claim to know what the “moderates” want, but you are wrong. my husband, as well as some friends and family could be classified as moderates or “swing voters” and they LOVED her.
most if not all peeps i have talked too that like her say the main attraction to her was she was one of us, not a another lawyer, not part of the “machine”....despite your claims otherwise that it has to do with her looks or feminine appeal. that is more liberal BS.
despite how hard the msm and the left AND those in our party try to say otherwise she has broad appeal. had our party voted or not voted third party we may have won despite the immense dislike for mccain....

Precisely. Gov. Palin is the polar-opposite of an opportunist politician. She’s had to go up against an entrenched corrupt RINO establishment regime in AK. All 3 of their federal officeholders are anti-Palin RINOs. We almost lost 2 of them in one shot, and lost the Senate seat because Stevens refused to quit and allow another nominee in his place. You literally have to be a convicted felon to lose as a Republican for federal office, and that came to pass. She not only has to battle these crooks, but the Dems as well. I can’t begin to imagine the stress she is under on a daily basis from so many sides out to see her destroyed.
