Really?
You think they choose Palin so McCain could lose and then spend 4 years trashing her in hopes she would become unelectable?
I’m sorry, I’m about to go rush out and buy stock in tin foil, there’s going to be a major rush on tin foil if people are actually beginning think like that...
Palin was unknown outside of Alaska by anyone other than hardcore conservatives, and even then many of them never heard of her.
If Palin hadn’t been selected as McCain’s VP candidate she would never of had a national stage and no one would know of her right now and she would still be an almost unknown governor.
History is far from on your side with this theory, I highly doubt the party looked at her as a threat back then, probably barely knew her.
So your theory carries little to no weight, it’s a complete conspiracy theory.
So was Clinton...We all remembered how THAT turned out.
So your point is?
