Not so sure about that.  Lets look at exit polls in 2000 and compare them in 2008

                                 2000 Bush      2000 Gore     2008 McCain    2008 Obama
Men                                53                   42                  48                   49
Women                           43                   54                  43                   56
White Males                    60                   36                  57                   41
White Females                49                   48                  53                   46

McCain actually increased GOP share of the White Females vote from 2000. A major reason must be Palin.

Sure. Palin drove off everyone that Huckabee would have driven off, and Palin drove off a few more over the competence issue.

He would be very similar to Palin.  He may have helped turn out the GOP in droves, though.

And Palin isnt? The difference is that Huckabee doesnt show it nearly as much.

Crackpot and Republican nominee aren't exactly opposites.

Did Sarah Palin ever say that homosexuals should be quarantined?
