Who do you have in mind.

Sadly, I don’t see Palin as being up to it. For all the enthusiasm she supposedly generated, she didn’t provide much of anything in the way of votes.

Barnes (I think) on Fox said that she probably gained him 4 percentage points. This was based on the proportion of those who said she mattered in their voting decision, who then voted for McCain-Palin.

"she didn’t provide much of anything in the way of votes. "

Well, Governor Palin is one of the main reasons I even bothered to vote. I would guess that the final count would have been 70%-25% in favor of obama if Sarah had not energized the base.

McCain was never my pick, and I have never seen a more lackluster candidate - even Bob Dole was more exciting than McCain.

Now, whether she can be elected in 2012 on her own, is another question, but she was the wind beneath McCains wings this time.

SARAH PALIN SAVED MCLAME'S BACON---REPEATEDLY!!!

With all of McLame's screwups, had it not been for his having adding Sarah to the ticket, he would probably lost by 400 or 500 electoral votes.

I hope Roberta McLame sleeps well with her INSANE attitude toward the WORKERS of the party---the BASE---when she said something to the effect of "Well, they're just going to have to hold their noses and vote for him anyway."

Oh, NO THEY DIDN'T!!!

ARE YOU HAPPY NOW, ROBERTA-DEAR?

Your son looks like a FOOL for his lousy showing!!! With his IDIOTIC McLame-Feingold law, HE COOKED HIS OWN GOOSE and came to a gunfight with a rubber knife and with his HANDS TIED BEHIND HIS BACK FINANCIALLY!!!

AND HE TOOK OTHERS DOWN WITH HIS COATTAILS!

Of course, there was also McLame-Lieberman and McLame-Kennedy.

Can you get it through your noodle---NOW---that "reaching across the isle" is ABSOLUTELY INSANE?

The RATS didn't "like" you because they truly liked you. They "liked" you because YOU GAVE THE BASE THE FINGER AND TORE APART THE REPUBLICAN PARTY!!! That enabled the RATS to EASILY WIN!!!

I just hope that the RNC FINALLY WAKES UP and realizes that:

CONSERVATISM WINS!!!

CONSERVATISM WINS!!!

CONSERVATISM WINS!!!

NEVER LEAVE YOUR WINGMAN!

NEVER LEAVE YOUR WINGMAN!

***NEVER*** LEAVE YOUR BASE!!!!!!!!!
