Speaking of “odd ways of analyzing elections”, there has NEVER been an election where the voters chose a President based on who was the V.P. choice. If that were the case, ObaMao would have lost in a landslide.

You're still turning reality inside out.
People come out on election day to vote for a candidate they support. If they are 0bama supporters, that is who they are coming out to supprt, regardless of who his running mate is. If they are Sarah Palin supporters, that is who they come out to vote for, regardless of who her running mate is, too.

That is the way real elections work in the real world. Supporters coming out to support their candidate. Sarah Palin didn't have as many as Barack 0bama. Period.

She didn't have them in 2008, and she'll have even fewer in 2012, if history is any guide.

To somehow pass the responsibility of this last election loss on Sarah Palin is downright ignorant of you. McCain LOST, not Palin. Palin was the only thing that kept McNasty from losing by double digits.

So you admit that the people who voted for the GOP ticket did so because they were Palin supporters, and yet you still can't make the connection that there just weren't as many of them as there were 0bama supporters. Why is that, and why do you think there would magically be more of them 3 years from now?

"Why is that, and why do you think there would magically be more of them 3 years from now?"

Because the GOP is dead. They are all indoctrinated Harvard or Yale commies that play conservative for the camera while they play toy enemy with "the other side of the isle". Their butts shine like the moon with socialism and they can't see it because the glare from their inner circle is blinding them to the reality that their pants aren't on.

Every person pushing Romney ought to put a target on their head saying, I'm a big government elite and I support my kind (totalitarian narcissists), even if they do have fake hair and lie like pirates.

The "GOP" has left the rest of the country behind with nothing left to lose. They are complicit in the downfall of the Republic. The gig is up. The Oligarchy is going down.
