‘The only thing good thing McCain did during the general election was pick Palin.’

Correct.

No bashing on my part. I think she’s the only reason McCain didn’t lose 50 states.

I think McCain TOLD his staffers that would be the case....we know Johnny Mac has always been a tad delusional.

There is no end to the Palin bashing.

There will be no end to it. The media are eying Palin as the 2012 nominee. They are setting Palin up to be Barry Goldwater in 2012 against Obomba's LBJ.

Another waste of time from those with Palin Derangement Syndrome.

4 or 5 people may not have voted for the moderate Democrat McCain because of Bristol Palin’s pregnancy.

Meanwhile, Zero associates with openly hateful traitors, racists, thugs and terrorists and has his apple polished daily by his media.

Oh, and what kind of vetting did Obama do on his overtly disdainful, anti-American wife?

Me too. Since when do liberals have a problem with out-of-wedlock births?

This fellow failed to do a background check of the background check. My recollection is that this was one of the first issues brought up by Gov. Palin. Whoever paid him for his writings should get a refund.

Because we have future elections, and there are lessons to be learned from the previous one.

McCain and his team were doomed from the beginning.

THEY HAD NO REAL FIGHT...BACKBONE....GUTS.....B**LS.......

The Republican party just has to get down and dirty, to match the Demos, which they did not do. If they had been smart enough to raise the BC issue (and others)long before the elections, I don’t think we would be where we are at today. But oh no....they wanted to play nice. Or they were just too stupid to check it out.

I’m a Palin supporter, to be crystal clear.

The term BOHICA appears to be part of the mind set of “middle ground” Republicans ... and bipartisanship is always one way, requiring a lot of lubricant.

One might also ask if the DNC did a background check on Barry-O.
