Academic Bombshell: Study Vindicates McCain’s Choice of Sarah Palin as VP
http://collegeinsurrection.com/2013/...h-palin-as-vp/
A new study is going to rock one of the most treasured beliefs held by campus progressives: John McCain lost the election when he tapped Sarah Palin to be his running mate.
A pair of political scientists from Bradley University actually found Palin helped McCain in the 2008 presidential election.
“We find that using marginal effects, as is appropriate for cross-sectional data, shows that Palin had a positive effect on McCain vote choice, and based on our model specification, may have had a positive, conditional relationship for independent voters,” Edward M. Burmilla and Josh M. Ryan wrote in an article which appeared in the Political Research Quarterly.
They go on to conclude that, “when confidence intervals are included, Palin’s effect was not necessarily the largest among the nominees [for vice-president] since 1972.”
Their work runs counter to not only the collective wisdom of Democratic as well as Republican talking heads whose domes have dominated the airwaves over the past five years but also that of a quartet of other political science profs and researchers whose analyses have been more widely publicized including:
University of Central Florida professor Jonathan Knuckey
Roy Ellis of Stanford
D. Sunshine Hillygus and
Norman H. Nie, both of Duke.

There are people who think McCain lost in 2008 because of Palin?

My reasons for not wanting to vote for Sarah Palin have nothing to do with her gender and everything to do with her politics. I'm a liberal, she's a conservative.
If Hillary is the dem nominee, I think having a female GOP nominee would at least take the issue of sexism out of the equation.

That would require a level of honesty and integrity that Liberals don't posses.
If they were to do that and people heat watch the MSN news broadcasts saw the REAL Sarah Palin...well that would blow the narrative! OMG people might WANT her to be President!
And we just can't have that now can we?
