re: #613 Charles

And I think that for every religious fundamentalist Sarah Palin brought in, she turned off two fence-sitters who might have gone for McCain.

Charles,

Do you think that it was Palin who turned off the two fence sitters, or that it was the portrayal of Palin by the MSM?

I understand that Republicans who went to the Ivy Leagues for undergrad or grad school preferred to vote for Obama despite policy differences due to class loyalties. That is a small group of Republican voters and their class loyalty interests do not reflect the mainstream Republican voter interests .However, that was a large percent of Republican pundits.
