The Democratic Party hacks will continue to exploit the clearly demonstrated fact that Sarah is a non-finisher with no real stomach. She did not appeal to voters outside of the v ery narrow grouping of rightwingers, and has done nothing to expand her charm. The GOP cannot win on that.
Then why does everything she says or does continue to throw Dems into a panic?

Please don't confuse "panic" with uncontrollable laughter.
I don't think running point on the death panel scam helped her expand her base. she'd be a solid 10% to 15% because she is virtually bullet-proof (baring an extra-marital affair) with that group. And having a very solid base like that can be a very good starting point. The question is (imho) can she build and expand that? So far, I don't think she has demonstrated any real ability to do that.

If America elects a woman president soon, right now her name appears to be Hillary Clinton.
In a hypothetical match-up between the two most formidable female candidates in their respective parties, Clinton defeats former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin 51% to 39%, according to a new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey of likely U.S. voters. Seven percent (7%) prefer some other candidate.
Clinton performs better against Palin than President Obama who in a hypothetical 2012 match-up beats last years GOP vice presidential nominee by just six points, 48% to 42%.
Women overwhelmingly favor Clinton over Palin, 59% to 32%. Men favor the GOP ex-governor by eight points, 48% to 40%.
Palin gets 71% of the Republican vote, while Clinton captures 81% of Democrats. Voters not affiliated with either party break down almost evenly between the two candidates, giving Clinton a slight 44% to 41% edge.
Romney will never appeal to the modern day "base" of the GOP. They cannot get past the fact that he is a Mormon and will never put him on the GOP ticket. If they would, McCain would not have been chosen in 2008.

I don't know yank. I guess that hinges on which element within the GOP winds up on top. The far-right will vote GOP anyway (even if they have to hold their nose to do it) because THEY THINK the other option is a commie, terrorist paling around with, granny-killing muslim, who isn't even an American citizen.
McCain of 2000 could have held that base (however reluctantly) and appealed to lots of moderates as well. McCain 2008 tossed out the moderates to pander to people who were going to vote for him anyway.
The far right - for the same reasons I mentioned above - will probably vote GOP anyway again. If Romney can hold the center, I think he could be an effective candidate.
If the 2012 presidential election were held today [July 20], President Obama and possible Republican nominee Mitt Romney would be all tied up at 45% each, according to a new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey.

Nodog, here is my premise. Knowing that our economy was hurting, and knowing that economics were Romney's strong point, while at the same time knowing economics was McCain's weakness, why did the GOP put McCain on the ticket? Don't you remember the "it's the economy, stupid" bumper stickers back then?
