If Palin, rather than Cain, had won you and all the other drones would be shouting from rooftops.

Right on the money. Hypotheticals are permissible if questioning an expert witness, and only in the area of expertise. Otherwise, speculation fails, too open-ended. Besides, Palin’s been carefully avoiding “establishment” merit badges. She’s not playing their game, so the hypothetical is an unlikely occurance to begin with.
