Of all the facts you listed, only one, her being pro-life, had anything to do with policy.
Everything else was a personal characteritic of her's that you and others happen to like.
It's sad that the right is following the left and degenerating into a culture of personality cults.
Every Presidency has been nothing more than a personality cult, ever since Washington.

Personality tells you a lot more about a person than their equivocating, fence stradling, hypothetical answers on policy. Politicians rarely tell you what they believe and they are always trying to tell you what they think you want to hear. Then they turn around and do precisely what they want to do.

What is wrong with that? That what most Boobus Americanus voters with very limited knowledge, time, intelligence, wisdom and attention spans must base their votes on. Even though I'm a junkie, I don't know significantly more than they do and many times what I think I know turns out to be a deception or an outright lie. So we base our choices on age, looks, stereotypes, identity, academics, history, perceptions, promises, parties, families, public personas, subtle quirks, slurs, wit, jokes, shared interests, basic life facts and even stuff as shallow as name recognition or who we think is going to win. It's the best we can do. That's how it has always worked and that is how it will always ever work.

Humble yourself and smile friend. We can't degenerate into the degernates that we already are :-)
You could be Todd Palin himself and think you really know the gal and she could still turn out to be a blood curdlingly evil and despicable President. I just have to pray that God, in his mercy and providence, proves different.

Psalm 2
1 Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing?
2 The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD, and against his anointed, saying,
3 Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us.
4 He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the LORD shall have them in derision.
5 Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vex them in his sore displeasure.
