Mike Murphy, a Republican consultant and former McCain adviser, said: “The loneliest precinct in the [party] these days is the one for troublesome Republicans who think Sarah Palin was a poor VP choice, even after The Speech. Well, here I am. Hello? Anybody else? Wow, there is a big echo in here.”

He went on: “I don’t like the effect I think Palin will ultimately have on the ticket. With all her charm, she is still a pick aimed squarely at the Republican base. In a high-turnout presidential year I am not worried about turning out the base. I’m worried about everybody else we need to win and I fear that among those voters, Sarah Palin will be a dud.”
