You guys just don't get it about Palin. She's the only reason McCain's even in this race, at this point. McCain would be down 15 nationally and on the way to about 130 electoral votes if not for Sarah.
I disagree. Had McCain chosen Romney, the polls would be tighter. Since the credit crisis hit, Americans want a comprehensive plan on how things will get better. They want numbers., and, whether you believe him or not, Obama is giving it to them. Romney is a power-point guy and would have a strong message in "I know how to fix things. I've made a fortune doing it." Any character issues brought up during the primaries would be irrelevant, as evidenced by Obama's associations not resonating in the polls.
Palin would've been effective if oil prices were still astronomical. She's a single-issue politician, IMO.
