She was supposed to appeal to the female vote and steal away some women who otherwise supported Hillary, yet everything those women find important, Palin opposes. She's against abortion, heck, she even wanted rape victims to pay for their own rape kits. Beyond that, she's a complete hypocrite, if she can't even pass on her most cherished beliefs to her daughter and convince her that her ideas are right, how can we expect her to be at all effective against foreign diplomats? The reality is, the religious right are by and large going to support whoever is on the Republican ticket so it's pointless to cater to them. There just are no other alternatives for them, they'll never vote for a Democrat and if the choice is between voting for a Republican and not having them vote at all, they become irrelevant. McCain has gone from being a candidate who has his own opinions to one who simply follows the poll numbers, he's just catering to special interests to get votes and as such, he's not worth supporting at all.
