Look, I totally agree with you.
Everyone who voted for McCain-Palin were voting for Sarah Palin.
And yet she didn’t get enough votes to beat Barack 0bama. Support for her just wasn’t there in the numbers we needed to win.
So why do some Republicans want a rematch, exactly?

“Everyone who voted for McCain-Palin were voting for Sarah Palin.”

Never said that. I recounted a story of three people is all.

What is fair to say is that Sarah didn’t draw enough votes on behalf of McCain. You need to maintain the distinction. For some reason you cross over all kinds of lines. Not easy to have a discussion that way.

Some Republicans want a rematch probably for lots of reasons:

1. Many feel Sarah represents the anti-Obama (numerous reasons here).
2. Many feel the attacks on Sarah were attacks on their values and families
3. Many think she will actually beat the crap out of Obama (I’m not sure)
4. Others believe there’s a reason why she is so hated. That she is the biggest threat to liberal/leftist rule.
5. Some Republicans are not RINOs or do not want a watered down Rat lite party. Sarah is clearly not a RINO.
6. Many Republicans probably don’t see it as a rematch. In point of fact it isn’t.

I’m not committed in 2012. I want to stop Obama’s destruction of American culture/society/economy and foreign policy success.

Not sure Sarah is up to all that. But right now she remains the best known threat to Obama’s clear leftist agenda. His claim of being moderate is now clearly seen as a ruse.

Many of us knew that. We looked at the record and all we saw was a left wing younger version of Al Sharpton. But the media loved it and took up the propaganda with gusto.

This last election was nothing more worthless than when Hitler ran in Germany.
