She's a "polarizing figure." The Republicans went with a "risky" guy in Romney, believing the risk was in his chosen faith, but that wasn't it at all. He was simply an unlikeable elitist and faith really was not the deciding factor. IF the Republicans went with a female candidate, she'd have to be MUCH MORE of a sure thing than Jan...at least in their miinds.
