I disagree strongly with what you said.
Had we run Palin rather than whatshisname, with the same running mate - we would have won.
I do not like the fact we were led around for a while before she changed her mind, but Palin is head and shoulders above anyone else on our team.
Period.
Palin can win the red states. But then again, any RINO can win the red states. How does she win the swing states?
