Stroke of genius if you ask me. A lot of piggies don’t flip on guys like Rush/Prager/Medved/Hannity/Hewitt etc. I don’t normally either as I am more of a sports talk fan. Today I flipped around and I tell you right now the base is energized. The PUMA democrats seem to like her, although they weren’t going to go with Obama no matter what so I don’t know if that’s a win.
What she has to do is appeal to enough middle america types to flip a state or two. I was a democrat growing up, mostly because dad was in the UAW and God-da#$%it, you had to be dem. However most of the union guys were big NRA and hunting types, and really not liberal in any obvious way.
I can see her life story playing well in the heartland. If McCain carries Michigan and Ohio, it’s all over but the crying.
Working women who are moderates will be attracted to her do it all style, while man men leaning conservative see her as the perfect woman. Attractive, Assertive, Intelligent, hard-working, hockey mom, husband a union guy…
Of course people don’t usually vote for VP, but from perusing message boards it seems there are many conservatives no planning on voting who might come back into the fold.
