My republican in-laws - Palin.
Went to my sister-in-laws family home for a picnic yesterday.
Palin was not even mentioned by anyone.
My extended family runs the scale from a New York quasi-commie to redneck jew-hating "christian" truck drivers, to an Episcopal Deacon and they were all there.
The only political talk was the usual republican no-brainer bullshit - the dems will increase taxes and take my guns.
( I have the most guns, and I'm not worried.)
Nothing anti-Obama, just the general antidemocrat stuff.
These folks would never consider voting for a Democrat any more than I would consider voting for a republican; they don't need reasons, it's just the way things are.

I doubt Palin will make very much difference or change many minds except for maybe a few fence sitters, and who knows if they will make a difference.

We MUST generate enough Democratic votes to win this one decisively.
