Any speculation that he would have done any better than McLame, is just that...speculation.

I was the democrats who cross-voted and put McLame on the ticket, as they thought he was the weakest of the opponents...which I agree.

Actually, I wasn't crazy about any of the candidates in the primary, and when they picked mclame, I vowed to just stay home. However, when he picked Palin and I heard her, I was recharged, as was most of the base.

First impressions always count, especially with voters... and my first impression of Romney was that of a stuff, rich guy - the GOP version of Edwards. I was never excited about him at all. At first I like Thompson, but he fizzled out like a roman candle; I didn't figure Huck would win because the media had him branded as a religious nut from the git-go.

As for the rest of the field, I don't even remember who they were...

As for Palin, if I were her I wouldn't run in 2012 if you paid me megabucks. Actually, she could make enough now from speaking and book/movid deals to retire comfortably for the rest of her days.

In closing, unless the conservatives in this country start worrying about how to reform the media, and quash the political machine that controls the elections, there's never going to be another GOP President anyway.

I agree with some of your points. I was even excited about Palin and still like her, but she just needs a huge education and fast. She can do it as she has plenty of time (well 2 years). Romney is a bit stiff but when he gave that speech at CPAC everyone was moved and excited about him. Of course that was the day he selflessly left the trail. Not like Huckster who lingered as the laughing stock he is.

As for Palin, if I were her I wouldn't run in 2012 if you paid me megabucks. Actually, she could make enough now from speaking and book/movid deals to retire comfortably for the rest of her days.

I personally would not like to have her wasted with a pres or veep slot. My advice, let whichever GOP'er who wins the next presidency name her Secretary of Energy, earn herself some points with these numbskull-Washington-elitists. Not to confirm their idiocy, but to give her a chance to show that she is not what the media made her out to be in a national manner. Plenty of time for her to run for the Executive Office later.
