I'm really not scared of Palin, they can find somebody that appeals to the base that freaks people out a little less. Bobby Jindal appeals to the base and....yeah ok bad example.

A candidate that would be scary is somebody that the base believes is one of them but yet is still able to project an image that doesn't scare off independents, centrists, etc. An image of sanity, stability, maybe some intelligence. I guess you might say that they could try to turn Palin into that but I don't see it.
