But do they? Sure, she has some very vocal supporters, but what has she really accomplished politically?
She was elected governor of Alaska, not exactly the most mainstream state. Then she was picked as the Vice Presidential nominee and was beaten fairly decisively. Since then? Nothing but hype. Yes, she might even be able to ride the hype to a GOP nomination, but I can't believe she could ever get enough mainstream support to carry the general election. Call me naive, but I just can't believe middle-American independents could be that stupid.
