You sound exactly like my boss when it comes to Sarah Palin. My boss is famous for saying ONLY McCain could win.
mwaa-haa-haa!
My most humble pardon to your boss...a fine person in their own right, I'm sure.
But...mcidiot could not have won that election under any circumstances at all. None! Period. End of story.
Moreover, the collateral damamge was catastrophic! I don't know (and truthfully, neither does anyone) what the skills and views of Ms. Palin were/are. She was slaughtered by the "powerless, insignificant" MSM before she ever had the chance to bloom. But her potential appeared to be huge! With any other running mate from the repubs, she may well have added significantly to the victory.
But it is what it is....we not only lost, an islam-muslim communist won. And won handily.
Now we must find a new candidate...prep them carefully for 2012...and get obammer out of office.
