ETA - I also think that the idea of her as president will be enough to stir up the lazy/complacent Democrat and YOUTH voters who couldn't be bothered to show up this month. I have friends in the US who are registered Republicans who jumped ship and voted Democrat in the 2008 election BECAUSE of Sarah Palin - even among people who traditionally vote Republican there are people who are reasonable enough to see those giant red flags.

You could have a point as voters in Nevada didn't elect Sharon Angle and in Delaware, Christine O'Donnell lost. But, I can't help but think of Reagan and the 2 terms of Dumb-Dumb Dubya.
Presently, due to how and how much $ can be poured into our elections, I am just not trusting much in our process. Also, the discust of Congress- which does have some merit.
My hope is that the general 2012 election will bring out what we saw in 2008 and Latino voters in large numbers that are the brunt of so much of what is going on in US politics.
