Palin is The GOP's Emotional Hit Woman
Earl Ofari Hutchinson
Let's get real. Pundits can chatter until they're blue in the face about Sarah Palin as a political school girl novice, a disastrous pick, her daughter's baby woes, GOP family values hypocrisy, canning a brother in law cop, squandering tax payer dollars on a defense attorney. They can yak incessantly about her being foreign policy and national security dumb. They can keep blathering about how the GOP plucked her as an affirmative action, gender identity pick.
But the fact is Palin's on the ticket to do one thing and one thing only and that's to fire up the millions of men and women voters who demand that a GOP presidential candidate firmly oppose abortion. Abortion is the ultimate in emotional issues for women, and a fair number of men. If elections have shown anything, they turn as much on emotions as the issues, more times than not even more on emotions. Palin is that emotion. That's why she's on the ticket.
