Maybe so.
But the theory that Sarah Palin could be competitive on a national stage was busted in November.
In the end, she didn’t help the ticket get even close.
She connects with real Americans, which apparently you fail to understand. Wonder why?

McCain lost the election. Without Palin, far fewer republicans and conservatives would have voted. She helped the ticket !!
You are lying. Sarah put McCain ahead in the polls for the first time in his campaign, then the idiot caved in on the bail out and cut his own throat, that and the fact the stupid SOB told everyone what a great President Bozo would make, tied Sarah's hands and wouldn't let anyone criticize Bozo about anything, he** he even jumped one of his supporters for using Bozo's middle name. The only one that sank McCain was McCain and anyone except a RINObot would know that. Sarah pulled his sorry a** up out of the depths and kept him from being an absolute diaster.
Recently she pulled 20,000 people in a town that barely has 25,000 people in it, McCain could never do that, neither could Romney or any of the other RINO a**hats.
If Sarah runs in 2012 she will cream Bozo, whether you think so or not.
go away....just go away....
What are you smoking man? She was on the ticket, but not the lead dog. McLame was a dog looser. (Global Warming, Amnisty, etc.) A vet, but does not have a clue. If you a not a globalist traitor, the Pubbie Elites will stab you in the back every time. Has to change. If it does not change, there will be an alternative. Both Parties suck. The Dems just suck much worse, they are traitorous Commies.
We are all sick of it, now it the time to do something besides talk.
She was competitive, McCain most of the time just smiled when obama attacked him or said something stupid or lied.
He reminded me of Chance in 'Being There.'

You know all that hatred and backstabbing from the McCain camp, counterpunch is a McCain troll.

Whatever combination of votes that gives McCain the biggest coalition is alright in my book.
McCain will have a center-right coalition.
McCain understands the first rule of VP picks, everyone does. Do no harm. He knows that Lieberman at best would attract the same kind of voters that he himself already attracts, and it would be at the price of a significant chunk of his coalition.
I’ll break down the dynamics of the VP selection: most people don’t know who the Vice President is, nor do they care.
The VP pick gets only two big nights: the acceptance speech at the convention, and the VP debate, which gets a very small audience compared to presidential debates. Other than that, the VP is invisible, and most people don’t start paying attention until after the convention where the VP is nominated.
The people who actually care who is picked or could pick the guy out of a lineup are hardcore political junkies, who just like football fan, already have picked their team. They’re not persuadable.
This is why a VP pick can not help and can only harm.
The only people who care or follow the VP drama are people that are already onboard, and thus can only be lost by a bad pick.
Obama didn’t understand this.
The only people who care about his VP choice are die-hard Hillary supporters, and he lost a good chunk of them by not picking her.
No one else cares who he picked. After all, he should know, he’s Barack Obama! Why would they care about the other guy on the ticket? It’s all about him, not the other guy. Obama fans have a hard enough time keeping up with the Kardashians, let alone Paris, Britney, Ashton, Brad and Angelina, this season’s American Idol, the Lohans, the Simpson sisters, and not one Corey, but two. They certainly don’t have time for some uncool windbag with bad plugs like Joe Biden.
