So, by your way of thinking we can say that Obama won because Biden brought in the votes. That’s it. Biden WON!

But Biden didn’t bring in votes. 0bama was the star on that ticket.
Just as Sarah Palin was the star on the GOP ticket.

She was selected for the sole purpose of bringing out votes.
Not votes in one state, but vote of a particular ideological tilt.
She brought out those votes.
But there were less of those than there were votes for 0bama.

The concept is really not abstract. People vote for a candidate, not a campaign.
Usually that candidate is on the top of the ticket, but that’s not the case in the rare instance where the VP candidate is the one with all the support.

Sarah had all the supporters, not McCain.
Just as 0bama had all the supporters, not Biden.
0bama’s supporters outnumbered Sarah’s supporters.

What is so hard about that to understand?
I know it hurts to admit defeat, but this is the way it is.
Sarah doesn’t have as much support in America as 0bama does.

No, he said VPs don't win or lose elections. Except that Palin did. Except...

I think we're dealing with a mental patient not a troll. LOL
