i think the real ultimate failing of this woman is that while she was exactly what a small portion of people were looking for, she was EXACTLY what most people were not looking for.
nevermind passing the blame for her lack of knowledge and suggesting questioning the intelligence of a person seeking office of vp was elitist or even sexist.
the ultimate downfall of sarah palin imo began from her opening stump speech to the people of america where not 5 minutes first went by before we heard "san francisco" and continued through the seething hate and vitriol of the crowds that attended her rallies. the woman is a divider. she has no percievable political strategy other than devide and conquer. nothing other than her inferences of a "real" america standing for everything right and good behind the obtuse aloof out of touch, less patriotic america.
i mean this woman is still bringing up that joe the plumber liar, who's in line for a tax cut from obama, in speeches now that the election is done.
out of touch. completely. and as much as id love to see her steer republicans into the ditch for the forseeable future i think even they see the writing on the walls these days...
