I know many young people and not many think of Obama as "one of them." Most young people I know are wise enough to see through Obama. Also when I inquire, most don't view Sarah negatively. I will state that I am a strong Sarah supporter. It is apparent from most of your posts you don't support Sarah. Your opposition of Sarah isn't entirely based on rational observations of humanity. There is an emotional bias against her that colors your opinion. There is nothing wrong with that.
I am confident Sarah will battle and win against the RINOs, the GOP, and the rest of the weak willed Republicans to win the nomination. She will then destroy Obama in the general.
My views of who and who doesn't support Palin are based ENTIRELY on a) polling (which no one here likes if it doesn't comport to their world view, and which I admit can be badly flawed at times . . . but which was right in 2006 and 2008), and conversations with young people virtually every day (because I am at a college where I interact with college kids). Since they know I'm a conservative, I also have more conversations with College Republicans than I do with College Democrats. I also speak around the country, usually to either Tea Party groups (wherein Palin is far from the obvious choice---popular, but not overwhelmingly so) and to college groups. So I think I get a pretty good cross section of conservative America, all over the country.
Emotionally, if anything, I'm drawn to Palin. I'd love nothing better than to stick it to the libs. But the mere fact that she drives them crazy is NOT sufficient cause for making her president, and especially not so over perhaps other candidates. Who are those other candidates? Right now, I don't see any I'd pick over her. But right now she'd also lose to Obama in a general election, perhaps not quite as badly as McCain did, but still lose. That might change in two years, but we shouldn't pretend that things aren't what they are right now.
