I never said she cost McCain net votes.
I never even implied it.
I just said that whatever she brought to the table against 0bama, it wasn’t enough.
It wasn’t enough in 2008 and it won’t be enough in 2012.
You are ignoring my point. VP’s do not nor have they ever won elections. A VP’s job is to secure the base and to not cost the ticket any net votes come election day.
You have now stated clearly she helped him tremendously by bringing the base home and that she did not cost him any net votes in the General.
And, if it wasn't for her, he may have lost states like MO that he won by a squeaker.
So she fulfilled all that could be asked of a VP candidate. WTF else did you expect her to do? Kick McCain off the ticket and make it a one woman show LOL!?!
We have no idea what kind of candidate she would be at the top of the ticket because that was not the role she was expected to play.
That is why we have primaries. Why don't you wait till she ACTUALLY RUNS FOR PRESIDENT and then judge her performance then. If she sucks, I am sure other people will also be running for the nomination. But she has an impressive ability to surprise those that underestimate her. Let's let time and the Primaries bare her out and stop attacking her for things that were out of her control shall we?
