More than likely GAINED McCain 2 million votes. I remember the rally in the Dayton/Cincy area-—it was something like 18,000 people, while no one gave a crap about McCain before her.

I only voted for McCain because of Palin. Yup, she’s really stupid- able to give her acceptance speech from memory after the teleprompter “broke”.

I was younger and more naive back in 2008 when I actually volunteered time at the country GOP Hq. All I can tell you is that we couldn't give away McCain lawn signs before Palin joined the ticket and we couldn't keep them in stock afterward.

Plus, if you look at national polling, the only time McCain briefly led was during those couple of weeks after Palin joined the ticket and before the stock market crashed.

This article is nonsense. Crazy McCain would have received far less votes if not for Palin. Have they forgotten how confused, muddled, and feeble McCain appeared?

Precisely. She was the reason I voted at all.

Probably cost him 2 million "independent" votes and gained him 4 million conservative votes - so you're right. :)

This is such horsechit. The only reason I voted for McCain ,as others I know , was Palin.

No kidding. If it were not for Palin he would not have had the votes he had. Funny how history is constantly being rewritten by the Fools.
