Well, I never considered you a right wing Republican either. Likeable compared to Newt and Romney, Cain as well and certainly Bachman. McCain tried to show he wasn't just another Washington insider and a rather nasty man at that by drafting the young, unknown Palin to be his running mate. She was hardly ready for national politics and it showed immediately but even with her lack of knowledge and inexperience with the media, she gained a fair number of supporters. McCain would later blame her for his loss which was totally unfair and showed him to be the trite, angry man he was/is...all this did was endear her to the right (which was never comfortable with McCain anyway). Aside from her fights with the media, she has done little wrong since the election in the eyes of the right and who else do they have at this point? She is better prepared this time and I don't buy the notion that she is stupid...besides how many recent Presidents have been Mensa members? Could she govern? I don't know, would depend on whether she had the wisdom to surround herself with qualified folks. Don't get me wrong, she won't get my vote but I think it unwise to simply dismiss her.
