Right now, economic prowess does not necessarily mean you'll score with voters concerned about the economy, especially when Obama is finding such success threatening to hike up taxes for the rich. You need somebody who represents the little guy that everybody seems to care so much about.

Don't get me wrong, I think Romney would have been the best choice if you're worried about economics, but perception is everything. That's the gamble.

after all, who want successful people on a ticket? I much prefer people who have lived in government sponsored housing all their lives......comrade.

I think many people (has anyone seen Cali?) are missing the point about Palin. POlitics is entertainment, and has largely been so back beyond Tippecanoe and Tyler too! Palin has excited people, increased the likelihood that people disposed to the republicans will actually haul their sorry butts to the booth and vote for them, and has boosted McCain's popularity. This is all good. You can take all the hand-wringing about tragedies in democracy and put them in the circular file if she continues to deliver those goods.
