I guess you didn't see where I said “It wasn’t her fault he lost” even though that's the first thing I said and you even included it in your reply...

Please. Your post made no sense. You started out by saying it wasn't her fault McCain lost, then you proceeded to insist that she didn't help him win. You can't have it both ways.

And that means she doesn’t have what it takes to attract the sort of votes we’ll need to defeat 0bama.

At the moment, she's our best bet. I'd be perfectly comfortable supporting her for president in 2012. Or do you have an alternative?

Not helping is not the same thing as hurting.
One is passive, the other is active.
Unless you believe that the GOP was somehow entitled to win.

It's like this. Suppose you have a headache, so you drink some tea. The tea doesn't help your headache at all. But it doesn't make it any worse either.
Is it the tea's fault you have a headache?
Obviously not. This is a basic exercise in logic.

Why would we be backing anyone for a race that has no declared candidates yet?
