palin was offered as running mate because it was thought that she would draw hillary voters, and because there really weren't any other attractive alternatives. she was well received at first based on her charm and looks. then she began answering questions. it became quickly apparent to me that she was not qualified for the position. the press did a number on her, for sure, but they really showed that palin was a rookie. i think a lot of other voters came to that conclusion as well. in the end, i believe that voters were turned off by the thought of "8 more years of bush".
