So you admit the only way devore could have won in deep blue Ca is a Palin endorsement. I'm surprised you give her that much power. Personally I think Palin has power but I don't think Palin was the only reason Carly won. It helped alot but the 2 million ad buy also helped and that was something Devore never had.
Palin endorsed Carly because unlike you Palin does not tilt at windmills. Palin understood devore had no chance even with her endorsement. he ran a terrible campaign and lost by 40pts I doubt if Reagan came back from the grave and endorsed Devore he could have won
