There have got to be Republicans out there... (vote, interview, campaign)

...who think (deep down) that Senator McCain's pick for VP, in Sarah Palin, was a terrible choice. Sofar, I've only heard a few admit it, but I'm sure a lot more are concerned.
McCain would have been a much more viable candidate w/o Sarah. IMO

I'm sure there are many behind the scenes even in the campaign "machine" who wish they had never let him pick her. I don't know WHAT they were thinking. If it was a "stunt", it didn't work.

Actually you could probably find more Republicans who think Palin would be a much better candidate without McCain!

Really...oh NO! Now THAT'S flippin' SCARY!
Who on earth would ever consider that to even be an option and why???

I've always said that I can respect Senator McCain, and that if he were to be elected, I would get over my distaste and grow to support him. Palin is an entirely different story. I don't respect at all, a woman who is such an obvious political ploy talk so abrasively about our united states senators without barely knowing them. From hearing her speak with interviewers, she doesn't know much else either...

Its the kind of thing a lot of repubs will only admit amongst other repubs and in close quarters, but the sentiment is definitely out there.

Sarah Palin is the perfect pick as GOP VP!

There have been many conservative editorials bewailing the pick. They have no problem castigating her.

(These are real conservatives, not representative of the "[Obama] turned me into a newt!" Palin lot.)

She was obviously picked to appeal to the lower spectrum of the base, the "low information voter", as someone said in another thread.
