Problem....the term "independent" means they follow no known party affiliation and are not registered to vote as either a dem/lib/prog/pop or a rino/repub/conserv/tpartyer.
Mrs. Palin will need AT LEAST 70% of those independents who do vote to vote for her. At LEAST 70%.
The independents will control the 2012 election. And staying home not voting for a conservative candidate will be as harmful as if they'd gone to the polls and voted FOR the stain.
So-called *independents* are highly overrated, in that nobody is impartial. It’s literally impossibly.
Voters lean one way or the other.
They either favor goverment dependency or not.
I guess we will see, again, if the independents are commies.
