Sarah Palin (Alaska Gov) McCain's VP

Well, from what I have seen, if the R's had allowed this Sarah Palin to emerge during the campaign, they would have been better off. I am not a fan of her and I think she is full of ****te in these new interviews. However, this person is much more coherent and likeable than the bufoon they portrayed in the early interviews during the campaign.

Moreover, America still mostly loves those "bible thumping ,backwoods rubes" and identifies strongly with them. So, I think "sealed their own doom as a minority party" is an incorrent statement. I support this conclusion by noting that Proposition 8 was defeated rather soundly. And, this defeat happened in a so called liberal state and despite the black vote setting aside any religious convictions against abortion to vote for Obama - but they were unwilling to do the same for the gays based solely on the rligious argument, which the far right shoved down their all too willing throats (the churches were almost solely resp. for the oppostion). So, I maintain it is not the minority of America.
