Party moderates have opined time and again that a more middle-of-the-road presidential candidate could win Pennsylvania. McCain was touted as that candidate. It was a double-digit trouncing. That's why the RINOs are trying to make Sarah Palin their scapegoat. Were you paying any attention at all? Palin isn't a 'scapegoat', she is part of the reason we lost. wake up and smell the coffee!

You are wrong. Without Palin, a lot of conversatives would have sat out the election or voted third party. Palin saved him from an even bigger and much more humiliating loss.

McCain lost because he ran on a platform that said, "Vote for me, I'm not really a Republican." I voted for Palin, not for him. Without Palin, I would have voted third party. A lot of people feel the same.

Now that all is said and done, I am actually happy McCain lost, because it probably would have done more harm than good should the party become associated with that RINO piece of crap.

Hey troll, You and your attitude can't even recognize a conservative. I had the privilege of working as a volunteer on her campaign for a while. Guranteed, people like you shoot off your mouth with no proofs, arm chair warrior jerk. Even things you would consider proofs, are rumors and inneundo.

Actually, Palin is the reason McCain got as many votes as he did! Palin is the only reason conservatives were excited about the race at all.

Palin was too late to make a difference in this election.

She excited the base, but we all know that the base would’ve grudgingly showed up on election day no matter what to keep the socialist Hussein out of the White House.

Palin would’ve been a great asset, and maybe even led us to victory, if the MSM wouldn’t have criticized and mocked her every chance they got. That kind of stuff turned away low info independents and undecided voters.
