Peggy Noonan has always been a conservative, not a Republican, not a RINO, not a lefty. She's been writing about how the RNC has left its conservative base. So, she didn't think Palin was a good choice..well, I hate to tell you this but Charles Krauthammer doesn't like the choice either. He didn't like the choice before the speech and while he said it was a great speech, he still thinks she was a bad choice. So..it is up to Gov Palin to win them over. They stand among those conservatives who have been fighting the Rockefeller Blue Bloods as the RNC has been heading left. Truthfully..like Eyas or Mr Jones..I'm not sure anything John McCain does would ever be ok with Peggy Noonan or Charles Krauthammer or a few other staunch conservatives, but I think she will win them over.
Look, if my significant other who is a Democrat (but I'm working on him), is excited about Palin and would rather it be a Palin/McCain ticket, then she will win over the doubters.
