You know, the way moderates and independents vote has little to do with policies.
They vote on personality.

And Sarah Palin’s personality grates on most people who are not ideological conservatives.
That’s why she can’t win.

You are right on that. I have talked to lots of people in the recent past who told me that they can’t stand the way she talks. I would counter with “But what about the issues?” People didn’t care. It’s like they are voting for American Idol, not a President.

Your perception concerning most moderates is correct, however, this is a numbers game and you cannot declare that they all think that way or they all hate her, they don't.

You could probably safely say a majority does, however, that is a perception created by a Media who hate her while she is not campaigning.

As she starts campaiging more and more, she will fight back and be able to better reshape the opinions of the mushy middle.
