Is Sarah Palin truly bringing in voters to the Repub Party or is she just an oddity that curiosity to be seen?  And the media is doing all it can to make her look as if there is more substance to her than there really is.

In the beginning there were just as bunch Repubs trying desperately to be the nominee…slowly but oh so slowly there were two…McCain and Huckabee…then there was the Repub messiah…McCain and his trusty sidekick, Lieberman.  But , aw shucks, Lieberman was not acceptable to the base as a VP pick…so McCain had to generate some enthusiasm within the party…and BAM!…enter Sarah Palin…she was cute, likable, conservative, and religious.  Almost immediately she was the darling of the RNC, she was very personable and most important she could deliver a punch line in a speech with her folksy little act.

Sad days were approaching….she was allowed to be interviewed and the MSM found that she is a really good vessel for party rhetoric but is a hollow person on substance.  That made her the perfect attack dog, with or without the lipstick.  What does she have to lose?  Absolutely nothing, she is soldifying her place in the RNC for other endeavors down the road.  She would be NOWHERE if Obama had chosen Hillary as his running mate.  The more that the people learn about her and her dealings the more the voter is pulling away from her.  Palin is doing little, as of this writing, to help McCain in the polls.

Of course all conservative talking heads talk about her draw among the people.  That she is preaching to thousands where McCain use to preach to hundreds.  The media plays into this delusion also, they need Palin to keep the drama of the election going if not the 24 hr news cycle could be boiled down to about 8 hrs of reporting.

From what I have seen, she is an oddity.  People come to see the only Repub woman to ever be considered as a VP candidate.  She turns a cute phrase with her cute little way of talking.  When she speaks she gets the usual yippies, whoas, you go girl, and the typical stuff that means nothing but if someone claps, you clap.  When she and McCain appear together at the massive rallies that she is drawing, once she finishes talking then some people begin leaving.  They were there to listen to the oddity, to the cuteness of a “Fargo” accident after that they are finished and go about the business.  I am not saying that everyone leaves…that would be a lie….but she is not energizing to many in McCain’s favor.  The loyal base would be there regarless of who was the VP, with the exception of Lieberman.

If they McCain/Palin ticket should happen to lose in November, Plain will probably be blamed and then disappear into the Alaskan landscape.  Or she will be given her own show on FOX News.

Palin is now nothing more than a political curiosity.  She is not helping the cause of McCain.  The voter sees that she is flash with little substance.
