The HUGE flaw in that thought process is that your counting on Palin remaining as she was at the RNC. The one even the GOP wasnt sure about...making gaffess, struggling to find her voice, whining about being a "mahhhhhvrik."
But liberals dont get that the more she is in the spotlight...then the more attention she gets....the more she finds her voice....the more she comes a "national" politician and not just a governor from a small state....the more of a real viable candidate and valid voice she becomes. Shes already stopped talking about "lipstick" and is solidifying her POV on the issues. And you better hope to the Flying Schincter Muscle that shes doesnt get her message and POV to really gain traction. Becuase if it does, the left is !@#$ed becuase calling her a "dumb waitress" wont fly anymore with voters, the same way trying to portray Ronald Reagan as a jelly bean popping empty headed actor didnt.
