Romney was worse and would have done worse.
Palin tried to drag McCain across the victory line in an election that republicans couldn’t win following 2 terms of Bush, and she could have done it if he had followed her.
Romney would not have stood a chance in 2008, and in 2012, against Jimmy Carter’s second term, in an election that republicans couldn’t lose, Romney of course, lost.
Palin was the only reason I voted but ANYTHING would be better than what we have now even a romney.
