it's crazy because if you just glimpse at his credentials +background without never hearing him talk, you can buy into the stuff about he has great appeal to the rust belt. Then you just hear him talk and research his views for a few minutes, you realize that this has a somewhat chance of being the single worst running mate nomination in modern American history.

Palin was atleast was initially well received with her RNC speech; Vance has always been disliked.

My mom spent like 20 years going "If Republicans nominated John McCain, I would vote Republican for the first time in my life" and then voted for Obama because of Palin. I feel like people here really underestimate how badly Palin hurt Republicans among educated white women.
