How many people outside of Virginia even know who he is?
And for that matter how many people base their vote primarily on the proximity of the VP candidate's state to their home state, or who the VP candidate is at all?
Trust me, being the only southerner out of the four candidates for president/vice-president is all it is going to take.
1996: Bill Clinton and Al Gore
2000: Al Gore
2004: John Edwards
Your argument is invalid.
The obvious difference between these southerners and McDonnell: Bob is a Republican.
Your argument was that being the only Southerner on the ticket would win the South over.
That's an interesting trivia question.
Who was the only Southern vice president republican nominee?
I assume Texas doesn't count as the South (GHWBush/Cheney), right?
I would rather that Palin enter at the convention and be our nominee than the lot we have. She's the only one that discusses the real issues that can defeat the president:
Gas Prices
Food Prices (which is an issue none of our candidates have even mentioned)
Hatred of the Fed
Obamacare
Jobs
Combined with the enthusiasm she produces, she would be an excellent candidate. For example, I know two mainline democrats who voted for Obama in 2008. They said that if Palin ran, they would vote for her. Just sayin...
From a poll of SC
Republicans:
(link)Sarah Palin is totally unelectable.
