She pretty much single-handedly carried Joe Miller past the incumbent in the primaries. This has little to nothing to do with leaving the governors office. I does seem like during the period between the primary and the general election, the opinion of Palin, Miller and the Republican party seemed to change in that state. I believe the ‘insiders’, including the Murkowski wing of the Republicans and the Democrats have converged to change the citizen’s public opinion in that state. I am certain they would still vote for the GOP in the presidential election regardless of the candidates, but for now, the Palin brand and the GOP seem to be down for the count.
“This has little to nothing to do with leaving the governors office....”
Thanks for the intelligent response to my simply honest and potentially relevant observation.
I guess one (you) out of five ain’t bad. For this subject matter anyway.
