Sure he did. Last year I said lots of things praising Palin while she was the nominee too. Just as all you McCain haters suddenly found reasons to say nice things about J-Mac until after the election results came in. It's called campaign spin.
Now everyone is free to say what they really think and no longer forced to pull their nose and support candidates they don't really like. The McCain haters have no problem telling me how much they hate Juan McCain so I'm sorry if you're shocked and saddened to know that not everyone in the GOP worships Palin. Life sucks. You'll learn to deal with it.
I didn't, and I was on the Palin Bandwagon *before* the convention speech:Cheese, Moose, Palin.
Note the date.
Cheers!
