"Sarah Palin couldn't attract more voters than Barack 0bama in the real election..."Completely lame. McQueeg's campaign could creditably be argued as one that he intentionally tried to lose. His debate performances were horrible. He never fought or once called 0bama out as the Marxist he was. He criticized anyone who used BHO's middle name [note: McQueeg, did you hear the name zer0 used at inauguration?].
Don't pin that loss on Sarah Palin; she prevented it from being the greatest landslide ever.

Almost as bad as that Katie Couric interview...
Calling the opponent names isn't going to win you votes.
People make up their minds about each candidate on both tickets independently.
If they were going to think 0bama was a Marxist, they didn't need McCain or Palin to tell them that.
But name-calling would have reflected poorly on McCain.
And everyone knew 0bama's middle name. Again, they didn't need McCain to tell them it.
It would have been just as pathetic for the candidate to do as if 0bama went around everywhere calling McCain 'Sydney', taunting him for being a wussy. This isn't the schoolyard.
That is not how you run a winning campaign. That is how you run a desperate one that is devoid of ideas or purpose.
