A similar tactic worked for McCain. There were a number of people who voted GOP on account of Palin’s presence on the ticket. I’m one of ‘em. Won’t get fooled again.
How did it work? Have I been in a coma and John McCain is in the White House? It just made his defeat less than it would’ve been with Liebermann or Romney as his running mate. Cancelling the campaign to go work on TARP is what put the final nail in McCain’s coffin, not anything Gov. Palin did. And Michele is no Sarah! Just because they’re both female doesn’t mean there are any other similarities. Rep. Bachmann doesn’t have a day of executive experience! She’s a backbencher in the House, at best.
...and we were also told in 2008 by some Freepers that if we stayed home and let 0bummer win we would get the Next Reagan because the population would be so disgusted. How is that prop working out?
