Anecdotal Evidence
ANECDOTAL EVIDENCE....Just got back from lunch with a conservative friend of mine that I hadn't seen for a couple of months. My guess is that he's never voted for a Democratic president in his life. Today, though, he dropped off his absentee ballot with the box marked for Barack Obama.
The final straw? Sarah Palin. "Can you imagine her actually becoming president?" he asked. I'll bet he's not the only one wondering.
That makes me feel better about things. I live up in Green Bay, and I'm surrounded by McCain/Palin yard signs and it's making me ill.
I wonder if these conservatives incredulous at the Sarah Palin pick would re-vote for Bush?
Typo: "I'll be" ?
No! I cannot or better yet, do not want to ever imagine Sarah Palin as President. John McCain is an idiot for selecting her. By the way, here is a website I found that shares all the Sarah Palin dirt to support Barack Obama!
Yeah, its so bad I don't know why Republicans are worried about voter fraud this time?
Nobody is going to believe the GOP was robbed votes.
We hear so much talk of a Bradley effect, but I have anecdotal evidence of my own that points to large (though probably insignificant)numbers of Republicans that publicly support McCain/Palin but in private vow to vote for Obama. They want to avoid the recriminations from their Republicans for their heterodoxy.
Has there ever been a less-qualified major party VPNom?
I can imagine McCain making a credible choice of a female. Perhaps Olympia Snowe or Susan Collins, but the right wouldn't let him have someone so centrist.
Isn't there a sole female red-meat conservative he could have nominated in her place who isn't so embarrassingly incapable? Or weren't there any of them that sent off enough starbursts?

Hell, even Ann Coulter would be a better choice. More realistically, Condi Rice would make a better veep but would further decimate his support from the far-right base. And that's the reason Palin was chosen; the list of red-meat conservative women is pretty damn small.
