I'd liked to think the US voter would look a little deeper at someone. Yeah, I'd like to think.
But I can't see Hilary backers flocking to her. She stands on the opposite side of almost every issue Hilary supported. Of the three Hilary supporters I know (not a lot of US voters around me) one was undecided, one hates Obama and was leaning to McCain and the other started backing Obama right after Hilary dropped out. All three said they thought the Palin pick was basically political pandering. I think my Obama hating friend is now writing in Hilary. BTW- she attends church twice a week and watches several TV preachers regularly. She said she'd like to see someone "take Obama out." According to her he's the devil.
I can see hard core conservatives backing her, she's on their side 100%. Plus by the time Fox, Rush et el get done with the bridge story she'll have not only given it back she'll have personally loaded the cash in a wheelbarrow and walked it from Alaska to DC and given a Mr. Smith type speech while dumping it in the oval office.
The part that gets me is why choose her? McCain was already going to get the voters who'll support her. I don't see her bringing in the independent and swing voters each side is going to need to win.
