Palin pushes
'fence sitters' to the left .
The St. Petersburg Times published a report showing state voters were actually turned off by Sarah Palin, who made appearances in Florida this weekend:
"The one thing that frightens me more than anything else are the ideologues. We've seen too many," said 80-year-old Air Force veteran Donn Spegal, a lifelong Republican from St. Petersburg, who sees McCain's new running mate as the kind of "wedge issue" social conservative that has made him disenchanted with his party.
Her visit to Florida was meant to energize voters—Florida is the largest "swing state" in the country, where Obama and McCain are within one or two percentage points of each other in the polls—and her rally reportedly drew approximately 60,000 attendees. But undecided voters surveyed for the story said even though they hadn't supported Obama, they were "turned off" by Palin's ideas and would vote for the Democratic ticket as a result.
Palin was originally praised by the Log Cabin Republicans, as she appeared to be moderately supportive of GLBT issues. She even went so far as to say "I don't judge" about the lives of gay people, when interviewed by Charles Gibson for ABC News. However, it was revealed that she has repeatedly spoken out against the community when it comes to issues such as domestic partnerships.
