Best way to get even is FReep every poll as many times possible, write Email after Email and generally perform civil disobedience's just as those low life cockroaches do.
Actually, the numbers openly stating that they will vote for McCain has increased dramaitcally because of Palin...who is much more conservative and in many ways the antithesis of what these people say they believe in.
Some points to consider about McCain's selection of Palin. Presidential candidates chose a VP running mate who will agree with Presidential running mate on a majority of the issues. A Presidential candidate will not pick someone who takes an opposing viewpoint on most issues otherwise they would be frequently butting heads and that would be bad for party unity.
Throughout McCain's 26 year political career McCain has repeatedly voted with the socialists Democrats on many issues. He's even gone as far to sponsor legislation with at least three socialist Democrats (Kennedy, Lieberman and Feingold)supporting amnesty for illegal aliens, human induced global warming(The GOP just adopted that as one of their planks) and restricting free speech under the guise of campaign finance reform respectively. In order for Palin to be on his ticket she, like any other VP running mate must have agreed to support McCain on at least most of the very issues he voted with the socialist Democrats.
The question then becomes just how conservative is or was Palin. If she was conservative prior to being selected then she had to sacrifice most of her principles to be on the ticket. If she was the antithesis of McCain then she is no longer.
Many keep deluding themselves that somehow a relative newcomer to national politics is going to somehow magically convert McCain after being a socialist for the last 26 years to becoming a conservative in the final two months before the election. That is wishful thinking.
McCain is certainly far from any conservative ideal, but there are some issues he holds ground with us on, and his pick of Palin has to be acknowledged.
He's not even close to being a conservative if you look closely at his record:

1993/01/13 McCain and Kerry release the Select Committee report urging the MIA issue be put to rest so that Vietnam could be granted normalized relations with the U.S., over objections by MIA family and veterans groups. Video1 Video2 ( I do not endorse all of the information presented in video1 here. The video does touch on a number of topics, and I think most are germane ) If I could have found video that contained most of this information without touching on McCain's POW experience I would have posted it instead. Still, there are parts of McCain's POW experience that are troubling. I'd just rather not go there. Video2 shows how one MIA family rep is treated, confirming some of the reports in Video1.

It was a very good move and does put a very conservative individual on the ticket a heart beat away from the presidency.
If that is true then it is also an admission a conservative will not be in the oval office should McCain become President. The question then is but what logical thought process can be rationalized by putting a socialist in the White house somehow will advance the conservative cause? The answer is it won't. Many people in the GOP are under the misguided notion to appease socialist now because conservatives can always reclaim power in the future.
The irony is the socialist never have and never will subscribe to such flawed thinking. They plan for the present while the GOP keeps planning only for the future and the result is a socialist Democrat controlled Congress.
