What a tard Mike Murphy is. If he had any real understanding of electoral dynamics he would know that the difference in most close elections is the turnout percentage of the base. It was Sarah Palin that made the race as close as it was.
These guys can’t keep on blaming Palin for McCain’s inept campaign. He supported TARP, Cap & Trade, Closing Gitmo, Amnesty, - jeez - it’s a wonder ANY of the “base” showed up. McCains economic positions were so incoherent they made Obama sound reasonable. Now all these idiots like Murphy can do is blame Sarah Palin for his downfall.
The reason Republicans lost in the 2006 Congressional races was because “the base” wasn’t energized. It’s possible that Sarah Palin, without the limitations of the Governors office, can energize the “base” for 2010.
As for his previous clients Romney, Arnold, and Jeb - I’m only surprised that Romney was willing to pay a guy that is this stupid. Note to Gov. Romney - if you are really in need of advice - you can call me. I’m sure I’m more expensive than this idiot - but you get what you pay for.
Hopefully.
I recall some time around 1992, listening to Rush Limbaugh and hearing how democrats were protesting the use of the word "liberal". Times have changed. Now many republican politicians want to be seen as moderates and shrug at the notion of being labeled "conservative". Maybe times will change again soon. And maybe Sarah Palin will play a role in that.
