I think we can all agree he was a terrible choice and yes, got no “cross the aisle” votes from his “friends”. But I don’t think Palin did either, and we also know she didn’t impress some sections of “The Base” - in particular, RINOs (as people are calling them) and libertarians. “Then they aren’t really Repubs!” everyone cries, as though there weren’t real problems with Palin’s performances and lack of depth. As though, if you don’t agree she is unstoppable, you’ve drunk the SNL kool-aid.
Making her the star of 2012 might be a mistake.
I feel like I have just gotten out of a really bad relationship since the election. Of course I am dreading Obama, but in some ways I feel very relieved that I don’t have the nightmare responsibility of McCain-Palin over my head for 4 yrs. To always dread McCain’s next across the aisle choice of cabinet member that makes me want to cry - or stupid policy decision... and 4 yrs of hearing that Palin doesn’t know Earth rotates around the Sun, Palin spent $3000 on a pair of shoes, etc. etc. Now that I’m out of the relationship, and I can look back and see how stressed out it made me, LOL.
