You make a compelling, detailed, well thought out, expertly documented case that Sarah Palin is unelectable. I lack even the remotist statistic against your perfectly crafted argument. All I have is the indisputable fact that twice-elected, wildly popular President Reagan was equally documented to be "unelectable" before he dominated his two Democratic presidential opponents and embarrassed his naysaying detractors, as stated below.

"Pundits stated continually that Reagan could not win and the polls for the most part were agreeing with the pundits as all the way up until election day Reagan lagged behind in most polling. In fact on election day itself in 1980 almost no one believed Ronald Reagan would beat Jimmy Carter and that Carter would be elected to a second term despite the shape of the economy and the general feeling that things were going the wrong direction in the country.
"But the people did not agree with the pundits or the GOP country club establishment and Ronald Reagan won in one of the greatest landslides in American history. Defeating Carter by more than eight million votes taking 44 states including Rockefeller’s New York and all of the Northeast states except Delaware, Maryland and Rhode Island and taking California in the process. He not only bucked and proved the GOP establishment wrong but his conservative message was embraced by voters and he continued to carry that voter loyalty into an even larger landslide in 1984 against Walter Mondale who was Carter’s Vice President.

I do hope you are as fabulously, stupendously, catastrophically, embarrassingly wrong about Palin's unelectability as all of the other know-nothing pundits were about Reagan. Not that I am not calling YOU a know-nothing, of course, only the know-nothing wrong Reagan pundits. I just hope you are stupendously embarrassingly wrong. I guess we'll see.
