What's she known for, issue-wise? More than anything, being pro-life. If the GOP wants to put the abortion issue front and center in 2012, by all means, get behind Palin. If however (as a Republican I fervently hope this is true), the party leaders aren't interested in ritual suicide, they need to start discouraging her from this course immediately. <br /><br />Middle-class voters, once the mainstay of the GOP ranks, are moving slightly left on social issues.
