As I recall, it was not Sarah Palin running for President. And Biden certainly did not “defeat” her.

It was rather ignorant of you to make that claim. In fact, every post you continue to make, further solidifies my suspicions. You are nothing more than a moderate Republican/Independent trying to masquerade as a Conservative.

Don't forget, there are many still here who helped establish this forum and have seen a wide variety of impostor and can easily tell the difference.

You’ve got an odd way of analysing elections.

The election was a test of votes Palin could generate verses those 0bama could generate.
That’s how people actually voted when they went to the polls.

No one compartmentalizes an election the way you are suggesting. Supporters of a candidate come out to vote for that candidate. Everyone who wanted to vote for Sarah Palin did. Just like if there was some big Joe Biden fan out there, they would vote for his ticket.

Sarah Palin just didn’t have enough supporters in the end. Not more than 0bama had. He got more people out to the polls than she did. A lot more.

0bama’s supporters outnumbered Sarah Palin’s supporters. His supporters outnumbered Sarah Palin’s supporters and John McCain’s supporters combined. The two of them together couldn’t get enough people out to vote to overcome the number of people 0bama got out to vote. It has nothing to do with Sarah Palin being ‘defeated’ by Joe Biden of all things, and I never came anywhere near suggesting it did.

It was her (and McCain’s) supporters vs. 0bama’s supporters.
She came up short. The votes just weren’t there for her.
