While leaving with my wife after having voted, I asked her whom she voted for. “Palin!” she remarked and smiling broadly.
She wasn’t for McCain at all. Palin converted her. But she also would never have voted for Obama. She was just less than enthused until Palin came around.
I am the same way. I told everyone from the beginning that the choice was between a liberal and a commie. I’d vote for the liberal to keep the commie out. Then... Palin came along and I was excited about the liberal because of her.
