I saw Sarah as the price McCain had to pay for retaining the support of the fundamentalist wing of the party. Just look at the way she was foisted on his party and how well the two “worked” together…

She was supposed to play to the center by smiling, winking and just emodying whatever values people chose to project on her. It might’ve worked until her daughter got knocked up and it became clear that Sarah was not just gonna make her own daughter keep the kid, but she was darn well gonna make everybody’s daughter keep their babies, whether they wanted to or not.

And that put off a lot of centrist Americans, who oppose abortion on principle but sorta wanna know that there is a bolt-hole just in case “abstinence only” doesn’t work for their promise-breaking promise-keeper daughters…
