McCain/Lieberman - This combo would have easily swayed independents...what could have been....
Sarah Palin had an 80% approval rating as Governor of Alaska by arguing against the republican establishment - Now she's the republican establishment media's favorite darling.
Steve Schmidt had to lay flattery on thick like calling Sarah Palin the next Ronald Reagan, the most endearing scene is when Palin, seeming catatonic, giggles at Schmidt referencing Reagan's belief that trees caused pollution.
Gov. Palin didn't know the difference between the war in Iraq and the war in Afghanistan, she believed Hussein attacked America on 9/11 - this is a great plot point - this is the moment where the drama increased.
Sarah Palin cared more about the local news of Alaska then the national news, quite admirable and rather endearing.
Former V.P. Cheney is misunderstood and made fun of even in Republican circles
Right after the Sarah Palin announcement, John McCain's polling number got a bump of 9%
