If ex-Gov. Palin were to go to jail for violating the Endangered Species Act would her supporters still vote for her?

Given the numerous gaffes during the campaign made by Palin without loss of their support, my guess is they would continue to back her if she was in jail. It may even be a plus, suiting those with a "maverick" streak (sigh). Debs isn't a current, emotional-level pick like Palin, so the same criteria wouldn't apply.

I'm using my father-in-law as an example of a typical Palin supporter. To be blunt, her appeal to him is that she is pro-gun and he'd like to sleep with her. Neither of those things would change if she was to shoot something and be incarcerated.

It depends on how some of her supporters feel about the Endangered animals cause. Some may stick with her because it is human rights over animal rights and maybe she shot the bear accidentally. I think she may lose some voters but maybe not all depends on how close they are to the cause.

Well, some would and some wouldn't. A clever political operator could leverage a prison term into an advantage. Me?

I wouldn't vote for her because of that picture. She has her finger on the trigger but isn't looking at the target? People who don't know how to work a gun should avoid touching them until they do.

I believe that it is a loaded question. What if I were to ask you the same question but instead of Sarah Palin I put in Barack Obama. What would the answer be?

Would he go to jail? Would it be swept under the rug? I believe that there would be two totally different answers to that question.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
