We can’t rely on 0bama screwing up to win with an “anybody by 0bama” vote.
That was the Democrat’s strategy in 2004, and it failed.
We need someone that can attract more votes than 0bama, not simply a receptacle for protest votes.

And by the way, as much as 0bama turns people off, Sarah Palin does so even more, particularly among moderates and independents, where 0bama is particularly vulnerable.

We ought not nominate the one candidate that turns off independents even more than 0bama.
That would result in snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.

I didn't say that ..well I kinda did but only to exaggerate the obvious...but it will be a major factor....when socialist policies fail which they always do people will look at Palin with fresh eyes...IMHO

Once again your logic is flawed, as well as your stated evidence.

The turn-off of the moderates and independents is not as universal as you paint it.

Furthermore, it is a creation of a media that hates conservatives and conservatism.

So logically, if the candidate is a conservative and holds true to conservative positions on the issues, they are going to receive the same treatment.

So you my friend, are either going to have to settle for a moderate, that will have the same chances as winning as McCain always had, or you are going to settle for a real conservative who is going to recieve the EXACT SAME TREATMENT as Sarah.

Which will it be?

A moderate or a conservative?

“We can’t rely on 0bama screwing up to win with an “anybody by 0bama” vote.

It failed by 110,000 votes in Ohio. Had Kerry gotten 110,001 more votes in OH he would have been President.

Whether you think Palin is the best we can do or not, you have to admit she would do a lot better then John “did you know he served in vietnam?” Kerry and silk pony.
