As far as Sarah Palin goes, my impression was that people liked her because she wasn't ashamed of her opinions and she never pretended to be anything except what she was.  Calling Mit Romney an ignoramus only shows that you didn't like his political opinions and think that that makes it OK to call him names.  That tells me more about you than of him but I'm going to drop the subject RIGHT NOW because I don't consider it OK to do that and I prefer to live up to my principles.

I don't think people liked Sarah Palin. I think if McCain had picked someone that wasn't perceived as a bimbo, he would have won the election. As it was, not only were the people afraid of him
dying and leaving her in charge, but it also reflected on his judgment.
