Long before John McCain delivered his concession speech, which reminded even the liberal left of his dignity and courage, his staffers had plunged into their next task. It is, sadly, one they had begun two weeks prior to the election, a time when their candidate most needed them.
But rather than shoring up McCain’s weakly explained policies on the failing economy — the most important issue to voters – his staffers were already scrambling to lay blame for their faltering campaign on McCain’s running mate, Sarah Palin. It was a move that some saw coming long before it happened, as unnamed staffers complained to the press that Palin had “gone rogue” and was already positioning her own political future.

Romney shouldnt be a contender. McCain has no charisma, and Romney couldnt even buy votes in the Primary to beat McCain.
Palin has charisma but has a women problem. If she can work on womens issues in the next couple of years, she will be a strong contender.
Palin is excellent but she is too easy to target.Jindal cannot be touched.
She had 1 bad interview with CBS.
She will get the nomination in 2012.
Jindal can not generate the excitement that Sarah has. Or connect with people like she does.
I am of a mind that thinks that she is indeed the best hope, but I agree with you that we should “give the gal some time off.”
We must also give the toxic waste of the Age of BO some time to settle upon us so that we can get the full measure of it.

Yes, we HAVE indeed won 5 out of 8 in the last 30 years.
And, Bill Clinton never won the popular vote any of the 2 times he won. Ross Perot won as much as 18% of the popular vote in 19992 when Bill Clinton won, and Perot was even more right wing that Bush senior was..
In fact, the only Democrat who has actually won over 50% of the popular vote since Reagan have been Algore and Obambi, and Algore won the popular vote because the networks wrongly called Florida for Gore even before the overwhelmingly Republican Florida Panhandle had voted, and most of the Western US states had even come close to finishing voting. Republicans were told it was already over and proceeded to stay home rather than go vote
Not to mention Obambi’s “win” was with strong assistance from massive , unprecedented electoral fraud by the mostly black ACORN vermin, who reregistered millions of fraudulent voters, then proceeded to vote early and often in an attempt to steal the elections and elect a black President. There were plenty of stories even on CNN about massive electoral fraud going on. Surely, you most have seen some of them, no?
And Obambi is?
You'd better go to Youtube and watch the videos of Obambi “uummming" and "aahhming" for a good SEVEN minutes when his teleprompter was taken away.
Gov Palin is a vastly better impromptu speaker than Obambi is. And Obambi managed to win, albeit with massive election fraud from ACORN
“Go to youtube and watch the interviews.”
No. You go to Youtube and watch Obambi’s blundering interviews without a teleprompter to help him will ya?
” She is a big asset to the GOP, but if you think she could beat Obama in four years, you’ve been smoking something...”
Nope.
Its you that is smoking something if you think she can't smoke the big ZERO in 2012.
Why do you think the liberal media vermin have launched an all out attack and destroy campaign to try and destroy her after the elections, and agent provocatuers like you are all over the joint doing their best to take her down? Because you recognize she is the biggest threat to Obambi in 2012.
Jindal “cannot be touched”?
What utter tripe!
Of course the MSM can and will do everything in their power to destroy Jindal..if he should stand for president. Only reason they haven't attacked him yet is because he never stood for president..yet. They never attacked Gov Palin before she stood for vice-precident either.
I agree 100%.
Too many DU trolls here trying to put in the knife into Gov Palib’s back, even before she starts taking a crack at the big communist who wil be in the White House for the next 4 years. It started with the now proven to be false stories in the notorious Newsweak, and ABC and whatnot. The next phase of the psyops is taking place right here in FR, with the trolls busy bad mouthing Gov Palin with their “Oh she's ok, but she's a hick and country bumpkin” crap..
Of course they always start their posts with what a great person Gov Plain is..just before they put in the kinife with yet another nasty, baseless attack.
Time for FR to crack the whip.
How much of that “surge” was dute to the massive voter fraud that Blacks carried out during these elections?
Even CNN was forced to show massive voter fraud going in, and they are in the pocket for Obambi.
“I haven’t even mentioned the shift in the hispanic vote from 59-40 Kerry to 68-31 Obama. Hispanic turnout jumped from 8% to 9% and the dems went from a +19 to a +36, a net shift of another another 1.4 pts or so in the popular vote”
Since Amnesty McCain spent at least 30% of his campaign pandering to LaRaza and other extremist Latino supremacist groups, instead of courting conservatives, that simply goes to prove that that any Republcan canididate is better off going strongly against amnesty, and instead concente on getting the conservative base out.
McCain deserves what he got.
Even despite his bumbling incompetent campaign, Mccain was still ahead by as much as 3% in the RNC average after the RNC convention, before the financial meltdown happened. McCain lost because he had 4 milion votes less than Bush did, even tho the population has risen by millions since 4 years ago.< Without gov Palin, McCain woulda ben chop suey. Why, the guy couldn't even win 54% of the votes in his own state. Pathetic.
Jindal is the governor of a state that’s almost 10 times the size of Alaska. He’s excited someone. You sell Jindal short. He’s better educated, smarter, and a better leader than Sarah Palin.
What makes you think Sarah is not smart ? CNN told you so ?
you disgust me.
I never thought she was smart. Her vocabulary, syntax, et al don't do anything at all to make me think that she's smart. Obviously you see something different. Time will tell.
you disgust me.
Are you always so emotional? It's typically a teenage trait to get personal at the slightest disagreement. Is this apparent inability to broach any disagreement at all without an emotional outburst a flaw that manifests itself at home as well?
Im just not ready to jump on any primary bandwagon.Jindal looks to be the strongest contender right now.
You are not ready to “jump on any primary bandwagon”, but you are ready to push your preferred candidate Jindal right now?
Nice.
I don't have much against Jindal, but there is no way that guy can beat Obambi in 2012. Obambi won from an unprecedented African-American turnout, backed by massive ACRORN fraud, and the financial crises. You think a huge Indian -American turnout for Jindal in 2012 will affect the results by much? It won't. Not enough indian-Americans out there.
Jindal/Palin has a nice ring to it. Four years will seem like forty waiting though.
And Obambi’s “aahhhmm”...”eemmmm” for to the tune of SEVEN minutes without actually saying anything,whenever his teleprompter is removed, makes you think he is smart?
You think a guy that thinks there are 58 states in America, and thinks US troops liberated Auschwitz, which the US troops never even got close to, is smart do you? Gov Palin, at least knows how many states we have in this country, and has actually run a multi-billion dollar state budget. Gov Palin should do a heck of a lot better than an epmty suit Obambi who hasn't run even a villeae since he was born
Obambi HAS ZERO executive experience.
Gov Palin has solid executive experience. End of story.
You sound suspiciously like a 5th coliminist from the other side to me. You keep repeating Obambi zombie talking points.
Why do you call the marxist leftist Obama, Obambi? It sounds a bit odd.
