And? She's not getting any new votes. Once it's made clear that she
1) tried to ban books (Ms. Palin, how to you reconcile your effort to ban books and the First amendment?)
2) Is ALL about getting pork, and leaving her small town of less than 10,000, what is it, 20 or so million in debt?
3) Her husband very recently belonged to the secessionist Alaska Independence Party (that's one step above treason and FAR worse than not wearing a flag lapel pin. What do you think they would have said about Michelle Obama if she belonged to a secessionist party??)
4) lied when she said she did not support the bridge to nowhere when she did
5) exteme on her abortion views - no exceptions (sorry parents, but your raped 12 year old HAS to have that baby. or sorry parents, even though your 12 year old might die because of this pregnancy, too bad)
6) made a line item veto to slash funding for a state program benefiting teen mothers in need of a place to live.
7) wants creationism taught in schools
8) supports strictly abstinence only education - which clearly doesn't work
She may have fired up her base, but she hasn't gotten any new voted. The people in the middle won't vote for her.
I posted this elsewhere, but she fired up her base...so what? She won't get any new votes when the following facts are made clear

Among other things.
She may have fired up her base, but she hasn't gotten any new voted. The people in the middle won't vote for her.
(I'm watching a repeat of the convention. Seriously, Gulianni is SUCH a douchebag and that poor Levi looks terrified)
but she still won't get any new voters that weren't already going to vote for McCain.
It has the EXACT rebuttals that the Dems need - right out of the republicans mouth!!!
1) Rove SNEERS at Governor Tim Kaine's (presumably as a potential VP for Obama) utter LACK of experience as governor of Virginia. It's priceless. it's EXACTLY the opposite of what they're saying about Palin
2) some fat ass on Fox - totally forget his name - basically said Hillary should stop running behind the "sexism" apron strings when the going gets tough. he asked if she can't take this, what will she do when faced with leader of Iraq....etc. exactly the opposite of what they're saying about Palin
3) another woman, right wing "journalist" also said Hillary should stop whining about sexism when the microscope gets too small
4) PALIN HERSELF said when she hears a woman "whine" about people being harder on women, scrutinizing them more closely - they should shut up and work harder because if they complain, it makes women look bad.
5) they show Bill Oreilly talking about how Bristol's pregnancy is a private matter and should be respected. THEN they show him saying how Jaime Lynn Spears pregnancy is DIRECTLY the result of bad parenting.
it was brilliant - this will SHUT them up. It refutes every MAJOR point on which they're trying to prop up Palin. (i'm going to post this everywhere, so I apoligize if you all see this more than once.
