Regardless, I don't see any way she beats Obama. It might not be ASB, but it's close.
Agreed. I think a simple 'McCain wins, gets shot afterwords would be more realistic if one wants to make a POTUS Palin TL. And then only marginally so.

It's only 'punishible' in 26 states (which is most).
Frankly I don't see what the modern purpose is in having the electors cast a vote at all.

Except in interviews, right? Because I seem to recall two very bad interviews in September that still define her image today.
In the sense that she looked dumb, not scared...
Well how would you get the GOP to win in 2008 w/o the sympathy vote?
McCain / Republicans were toast because the economy went down the drain right before the election. Bush had been in office for 8 years so right or wrong the President gets the blame for such. McCain being in the same party as Bush results in the blame for the economy getting shifted to him.
My own view point is the President is cheerleader in chief for the economy, their effects is over rated at best but they are to talk it up.
You want a Republican win in 2008 you need to change the debate from the economy to something else.
Something happens in foreign policy terms, an attack on US, war in middle east, etc.
A scandal on Democrats side, etc.
Something to get voters and media to focus on something other than the economy in November.
