If by "Average" voter you mean "Core Democrat Voter" than you could be correct ... Most voters are centerists (relative to their political system) and are fairly comfortable with being governed by either party as long as they are not too extreme (relative to their political system). Even if they disagree with a candidate on a particular issue they may vote for them if their stance is not too extreme; as an example, currently (in the United States) most of the more-moderate voters would not see a problem with voting for someone who wanted a ban on full-term abortions.
Now, I'm starting to get the impression that Palin was selected by McCain in order to placate his conservative base by enabling her to speak to and for them; and at the same time she is supposed to enrage the more extreme elements of the Democratic party. The end result of this is John McCain can then target the more moderate voters himself, who may be very nervous about the direction the Democrats would take the country based on the crazy stuff that some Obama supporters do and say. |
True... I mean look at it this way... there are like... 12 Million more registered democrats in the country then republicans... yet Bush somehow beat John Kerry.
