after she helped torpedo John McCain’s Presidential aspirations

OK, he shows his cluelessness right there. SARAH SAVED McCAIN's BUTT! He was on-track to make McGovern look like he lost in a squeaker. I worked the election GOTV effort and there were no volunteers until the day after the announcement and her speech. People flooded in, saying "I'm here for Sarah." And this is a conservative county. McCain's defeat would have been epic if not for Sarah Palin. A clue is far away from Mr. Fahr

Same thing in my neck of the woods. We could not give away McCain lawn signs at the local GOP hq. until Sarah was on the ticket. There were maybe 1 or 2 volunteers working our phones.

The day after, we couldn't keep enough lawn signs in stock and there was maybe 1 or 2 phone lines available (out of 18) without a volunteer to make calls.

She showed up for a 6 a.m. airport rally on 24 hours notice and every available ticket was gone within hours of the announcement.

Joe Biden showed up for a noon day rally at the local high school gym and they could not give away tickets with two weeks notice.

McCain didn't even both coming to SW Pennsylvania. We were one of the few places in the country where the GOP vote actually improved over 2004.
