If I was a young man (again), and I was watching Levi being forced into this shotgun wedding on the
national stage, I'd be so turned off by the whole nonsensical affair that I'd never vote for her. If I had been interested in voting for McNotHisOwnMan, I'd certainly be turned off by the way he's emasculated by Palin now.

I think that's the part of the formula rove got wrong... Palin's presence emasculates McRingtwirler. Her history suggests she'd push herself into the Presidency by exposing his corruption to gain her own foothold. It's being touted as a strength, but she seems intensely manipulative toward men... especially with the shotgun wedding looming.

2. We're talking about people who've made a central part of their philosophy:
"That could never happen to me!"

"Wire tapping? Spying? I'm a good citizen. They'd never arrest me!", "Abortion? Sounds horrible! That could never happen to me!", "First Amendement? Don't need it! I've got the second! I won't say anything displeasing to the masses! That could never happen to me!"

Water off a duck's back...

4. She forced out or fired every man who she perceived as a threat when she was mayor...
"And for some, Ms. Palin's first months in office here were so jarring - and so alienating - that an effort was made to force a recall. About 100 people attended a meeting to discuss the effort, which was covered in the local press, but the idea was dropped.

Shortly after becoming mayor, former city officials and Wasilla residents said, Ms. Palin approached the town librarian about the possibility of banning some books, though she never followed through and it was unclear which books or passages were in question.

Ann Kilkenny, a Democrat who said she attended every City Council meeting in Ms. Palin's first year in office, said Ms. Palin brought up the idea of banning some books at one meeting. "They were somehow morally or socially objectionable to her," Ms. Kilkenny said.

The librarian, Mary Ellen Emmons, pledged to "resist all efforts at censorship," Ms. Kilkenny recalled. Ms. Palin fired Ms. Emmons shortly after taking office but changed course after residents made a strong show of support. Ms. Emmons, who left her job and Wasilla a couple of years later, declined to comment for this article.

Once in office, Ms. Palin asked many of Mr. Stein's backers to resign - something virtually unheard of in Wasilla in past elections. The public works director, city planner, museum director and others were forced out. The police chief, Irl Stambaugh, was later fired outright."
