McCain was about 35% of the Republicans choice but a racist, Marxist, America hating revolutionary like Obama is unacceptable and even Bill Clinton's 3rd term would be preferable to him.
McCain picking Palin is what energized the base along with Rush and those guys informing the country of the things the MSM refused to inform us of. If not for Hannity and Rush, McCain would probably lose this thing.
A very good point - and one with which I completely agree. This was also very clear on the day that McCain won the nomination... yet the idiots like Rush, Levin, and Coulter did all they could to destroy the McCain campaign.
