It was based on trying to win back people who weren't going to vote for a liberal in Republican clothing. Were it not for the people who announced that they were going to stay home (but who have--with the pick of Sarah Palin--returned in huge numbers along with those who were going to stay home without announcing it) what would have driven McCain to return to the right?
LOL! I was waiting for this! "Those of us who said we'd NEVER vote for McCain should be given the credit for this pick!" LOL!
