If Palin was a centrist/moderate she
would have been successful in holding those Clinton supporters who jumped ship to McCain's ticket immediately after the RNC. This could very well have led to victory. Ditto for comments alienating the 'less real Americans' like Latinos who aren't from small town America, ditto for the youth vote who are less religious than the old guard that Palin appeals to. But because of her views she lost them as soon as she got them. If she was a centrist politically and a moderate socially, the McCain ticket definitely would have had a real chance to win.
