As far as I'm concerned Alaska can keep her,they for some reason elected this train wreck to her current office....they are IMO stuck with her.Any foolish speculation of her viability as a candidate in 2012 ,completely ignores/discounts the drag she wound up causing the ticket this year....fundies are a fringe extreme right wing and as such she is not now and never will be viable for national office.....good riddance
She was a rock star all over the country and her crowds vastly out drew McCain's. Hurt McCain? Hardly. The map would have been much more blue without her, the popular vote, millions less.
Go ahead and underestimate her.... really...please...go dismiss her.
Well FDD,if i was a hard core Democrat...this is exactly the view I would want the Republicans to take.Remain a party looking to a tired and shinking pool of voters for my base.But if I was looking at it as a patriotic American who realises that 2 healthy vibrant party's are in the nations best interest I would suggest they look at the demographics of all the new voters and figure out some middle ground wherein they might appeal to those new voters.Should they take some sort of joy at rauchous Palin rally's and forget that Obama was speaking to crowds ten and twenty times larger....should they look at the percentage of voters under 35 who voted Democrat....how about the minority voters.If the Republican Party insists on remaining a party appealing to fear and division and finds it's only likely voters middle aged white men...how will they ever win another election.FDD numbers don't lie....and this morning they are screaming at the learedship of your party,listen or wind up in the dust bin of American politics.
And if anyone had taken notice of the crowds gathered for Obama they would have seen the face of America - Native Americans, black people, white people, Asian, Middle-Eastern, Hispanic, young, old, families with their children, gay people, and everyone in between.
Maybe I missed something but all I seemed to see in any of the McPalin rallies that were televised was a majority of white folk. Not exactly a representation of America today.
