... that is the downfall of the GOP this election.

People living in a prosperous economy with no imminent worries about job losses, house foreclosures, loss of savings, pension funds, medical coverage, etc. vote for "sweethearts" of the west and the like.

Does anyone honestly think that a man or woman who is out of work, uninsured, out of options and out of hope is going to vote for a perky little nobody who doesn't demonstrate the intellectual wherewithal to balance a checkbook, no less have the know-how to get this country back on course and impact their prospects in a positive and meaningful way?

And I sincerely doubt that Ms Palin's alleged hunting skills or her participation in the PTA will change many minds.
