I agree to a certain extent with Derek in that she probably didn't swing any conservatives or hard GOPers to Obama. However she likely alienated many Independents and moderate suburban Democrats. As far as her intelligence, well I think that the verdict is in and it's pretty hard to argue who is smarter, Palin (Univesity of Idaho, 1987) or Obama (Occidental College, Columbia University and then Harvard, Palin doesn't even have a masters!).
As far as who would be better? On paper Huckabee, though he didn't get along with McCain. I would also say Newt Gingrich, John Thune, or John Hoeven. Anyone with a strong pro-life record and no major negatives. That would eliminate Romney (Mormon), Graham (immigration reform), Ridge & Lieberman (abortion), or Mel Martinez (Hispanic).
