McCain’s nomination was engineered by the eastern urban establishment elites who run the Republican party. The problem is, there isn’t a lot of difference between them and the eastern urban elites that control the democrat party.
I think you’re right, they supported the Palin selection because they thought it would appeal to a certain class of gun clinging, bible reading people in the hinterlands. I don’t think they OR John McCain had any idea that they were going to get the reaction they got at the convention and later by selecting Sarah Palin and I think it scared the {insert anglo saxon noun} out of them.
My question, and feel free to flame away, is whether or not the name at the top of the list of Palin bashers should be George Bush? Maybe I’m just being paranoid but the timing of our recent “economic crisis” seems very suspicious to me. Why was it necessary to react to a crisis that has been building for over a year four weeks before the election?
Talk about your October Surprise, it destroyed McCain’s momentum and brought his campaign to a grinding halt. Could advancing the “bail-out” when he did have been President Bush’s one last swipe and McCain and at the same time damaging Governor Palin enough to make sure that the reins of power in the Republican Party remained in the hands of people who shared his more liberal views?
First off, who are these eastern urban establishment elites, and how, exactly do they "engineer" who is selected in the primaries?

Secondly, do you not see the irony of using that characterization in the same post you accuse others of being no different than democrats.

I'm not sure I understand what you are suggesting... are you suggesting Bush used the bail-out to prevent McCain from being elected? (was "last swipe and McCain" supposed to be "last swipe at McCain"?)
