“While Obama was running $1 million dollar, prime-time campaign ads on network television just days before the election, McCain was boxed into a corner, penniless, watching from the sidelines.”

BS
mac threw it.
Palin won’t. Therein lies the difference.

The writer is talking about why McCain threw it. It is easy to see the handwriting on the wall when you are broke and the people aren’t buying your moderate message and not giving you money...

i think McCain threw it because his advisors told him what a train wreck 2009-2012 would be. Who would want to be in charge of THIS? Besides, nobody was getting excited about McCain.

The GOP (if it is to exist in 2013) must NEVER FORGET
that Team Romney attacked the GOP candidates and Gov. Palin's baby
DURING the election.

The McCain/Palin ticket was up ++8 pts. days prior to September 18th, 2008.
So the RomneyTeam attacked Gov. Palin and her children to throw Election2008.


David Frum: "I have a lot of regard for Mitt Romney as a man and politician.
Let me say for the record: If Romney emerges as the Republican nominee, I will support him without qualm."


Late in October, The American Spectator's The Prowler revealed:
"Former Mitt Romney presidential campaign staffers, some of whom are currently working for Sen. John McCain and Gov. Sarah Palin's bid for the White House,
have been involved in spreading anti-Palin spin to reporters, seeking to diminish her standing after the election.
'Sarah Palin is a lightweight, she won't be the first, not even the third, person people will think of when it comes to 2012,'
says one former Romney aide, now working for McCain-Palin.
'The only serious candidate ready to challenge to lead the Republican Party is Mitt Romney.
He's in charge on November 5th.'"
The Prowler added: "Some former Romney aides were behind the recent leaks to media, including CNN, that Governor Sarah Palin was a 'diva' and was going off message intentionally."
The Romney supporters in the McCain campaign had access to internal polling which indicated well in advance of the November 4 election that McCain had no chance to win.
So they began working to position their man Mitt for a run in 2012. Just two days after the election,The Palmetto Scoop reported:
"One of the first stories to hit the national airwaves was the claim of a major internal strife between close McCain aides and the folks handling his running mate Sarah Palin."
"I’m told by very good sources that this was indeed the case and that a rift had developed, but it was between Palin’s people and the staffers brought on from the failed presidential campaign of former Gov. Mitt Romney, not McCain aides."
"The sources said nearly 80 percent of Romney’s former staff was absorbed by McCain and these individuals were responsible for what amounts to a premeditated, last-minute sabotage of Palin."
These aides loyal to Romney inside the McCain campaign, said The Scoop, reportedly saw that Palin would be a serious contender for the Republican nomination in 2012 or 2016, which made her a threat to another presidential quest by Romney.
Erick Erickson, who organized Operation Leper, said:
"Here’s what I think: I think there are some staffers on the McCain campaign who seriously screwed up the roll out of Sarah Palin, to which Governor Palin herself objected.
These staffers are now out trying to finish her off thinking, as typical D.C. types do, that if they don’t do it to her, she’ll do it to them. They just never understood who Palin is or what she is about."
"Likewise, I do think there are some staffers and others who expect Mitt Romney to run again in 2012,
they decided McCain could not win, and decided to undermine Sarah Palin and her chances hoping it would ingratiate themselves with Mitt Romney."


"Who's the Palin Leaker from the McCain Campaign? (Mark Wallace, Romney pimp)
National Review Online The publication of a Vanity Fair profile of Sarah Palin
appears to have opened old wounds in the McCain campaign.
... the source of the “Diva” leak was Nicolle Wallace’s husband."


Who benefits most from Sanford meltdown? Californian (that's right) Mitt Romney


"Peeking Out From the McCain Wreckage: Mitt Romney"

"Someone's got to say it: IS MITT ROMNEY RESPONSIBLE FOR OBAMA'S VICTORY?"

"Vanity: Team Romney Sabotaged Palin and Continuing to Do So?"

"Romney Supporters Trashing Palin"

"Romney advisors sniping at Palin?"

The establishment Republicans say we need a boring thud (like Mitch Daniels/Tim Pawlenty!) to counter Obama’s base enthusiasm. Wait, they want a candidate that no one can get excited about?

Yep, Krauthammer just said so this past weekend at the "in-crowd" Pennsylvania Leadership Conference:

“I want a candidate who is dull as mud,” quipped Krauthammer. “Someone who will not attract attention but will make the arguments.” Among prospective 2012 candidates, he said Pawlenty best fits the bill.

Nowadays whenever I see the word "elite" my blood boils a little.

Gone are the days that I require a grownup to hold my hand and make decisions for me.

My hope:

As the masses become more politically aware our reliance on elites will decrease, until the point when someday we will cast of their oppressive yoke altogether, and truly live as free men and women.

There may be violence, or our liberal masters may simply fold, and go back to mom's basement and their bongs.

maccain “threw” it before he even “won” the nominatation. Palin was SUPPOSED to insure that it was REALLY thrown. She did the exact opposite and scared mac the tripe half out of his rinocrat skin shoes.

If Palin has such unfavorable poll ratings and all, why do people keep buying her books, watching her on TV, and paying big money to hear her speak?

Oh yeah I forgot, that’s just us nutty teabggers....

Call BS on that!

If Sarah Palin is such a loser, why do the media and the RATS keep attacking her?

One would think that she would be the candidate they would want the Republicans to run.

Rush said it best - because "the left will tell us who they fear."

They fear Sarah - and anyone who trys to suggest otherwise if full of beans.

Someone here shrewdly noted that Alan Keyes merits no criticism from the left. If Sarah was truly impotent, they would ignore her. They KNOW she can win, and would embarrass Obama head to head. Esp. if she chooses Rubio.
