In brief, it was all Sarah Palin’s fault.

Suppose that were true. (It isn't, but let's play along).

Also suppose that Ms. Palin did NOT hold a gun to anyone's head and force McCain to pick her.

Therefore, if she was such a drag on the campaign, it's the fault of whoever in the campaign picked her.

Therefore, it's not all here fault.

This isn't rocket surgery, people.

I will refrain from voting for any future Presidential candidate who employs those disloyal hacks from the McCain campaign, including Nicole Wallace and Steve Schmidt.

I don’t believe she is a fatal cancer. That she was not ready for prime time is evident. That she delivered a portion of the base is evident. Still, some were not movtivated, by either candidate, so she didn’t cement it. Rasmuessen did show that she had somewhat deep support from those that did vote on election day that called themselves the base. She had a slightly over 50% negative among those who do not call themselves the base. Saying on Larry King that she was annoyed by some of Couric’s questions (which she admitted were fair) was a miscue. Sure, the base had a rush. But the rest of the people who cast ballots saw her stumble on that question and others.

McCain’s “managers” carried on one of the most disorganized, loopy campaigns in history, and they’re trying to blame Palin?

Every time they open their mouth they illustrate their own utter incompetence. They should go find a job they can measure up to, and stop proving the Peter Principle.

Palin for president 2012.

In brief, Jacob, you're a moron.

McCain lost because of McCain. If it weren't for Sarah, it would have been a landslide for Obama.

Agreed. If you notice, too, that after the Couric fallout, Palin did go rouge... she decided to be herself. McCain’s staff and handlers were total and complete failures.

Well, McManiac’s answer to Palin’s criticism was “What do you expect from a maverick?!” and then he laughed....

That’s the kind of “support” that McManiac is giving on national television.

Wow. You certainly are a bit extreme. Glad you’re not a supporter.

How sad it is when honesty is labeled a miscue. Sadder still is that in this media environment, it may be true.

The Charlie Gibson and Katie Couric interviews were tactical errors by the campaign team. Palin's strength is her communication skills. Her initial interviews should have been live sitdowns at a desk with the interviewer. No split screens, no editing, no stupid walking around. The stupid campaign team was so concerned about her makig a mistake that they practically manufactured them for her.

What a touchy, hyper-sensitive world we live in?
A person can’t even admit that they were annoyed by something.

I don't buy this premise:

McCain aides have accused Palin

Reason:

MSNBC retracts false Palin story; others duped

AND:

Video: MSNBC falls for Palin/Eisenstadt hoax

AND:

Eisenstadt the source for Sarah Palin Africa leak [Freepers expose another HOAX; see downthread]

Please read the entire article. It really defends Sarah from the McCain camp.

What is with McCain anyway? He never did denounce the false allegations from his advisors.

Sarah will run and WIN in 2012 by running a winning campaign. Something Senator McCain failed to do in 08.

Sarah is the ONE!!

Votes FOR Women!!
