You seem to have forgotten how TEAM ROMNEY put the Imam in.
Milt the Ineligible RINO:
“Take out the conservatives. Remove any woman whbo voted Republican.”
FLASHBACK:
The McCain/Palin ticket was up ++4 to 10 pts
in some polls, days prior to Election 2008.
So rather than helping the GOP, Romney and
TeamROMNEY and the RNME (Republican National Media Establishment)
decided …to attack Gov. Palin to throw Election2008.
Romney, and the Van der Sloot RNME RINOs for Obama in 2008
Late in October, The American Spectator's The Prowler revealed:
"Former Mitt Romney presidential campaign staffers…
have been involved in spreading anti-Palin spin to reporters, seeking to diminish her standing after the election.
'Sarah Palin is a lightweight, she won't be the first, not even the third, person people will think of when it comes to 2012,'
says one former Romney aide…
'The only serious candidate ready to challenge to lead the Republican Party is Mitt Romney.
"Some former Romney aides were behind the recent leaks to media, including CNN, that Governor Sarah Palin was a 'diva' and was going off message intentionally."
The Palmetto Scoop reported: "One of the first stories to hit the national airwaves was
the claim of a major internal strife between close McCain aides and the folks handling his running mate Sarah Palin."
"I’m told by very good sources that this was indeed the case and that a rift had developed, but it was between Palin’s people and the staffers brought on from the failed presidential campaign of former Gov. Mitt Romney, not McCain aides."
"The sources said nearly 80 percent of Romney’s former staff was absorbed by McCain and these individuals were responsible for what amounts to a premeditated, last-minute sabotage of Palin."
… aides loyal to Romney inside the McCain campaign, said The Scoop, reportedly saw
that Palin would be a serious contender for the Republican nomination in 2012 or 2016, which made her a threat to another presidential quest by Romney.
"These staffers are now out trying to finish her off ….hoping it would ingratiate themselves with Mitt Romney."
"Who's the Palin Leaker from the McCain Campaign?
National Review Online The publication of a Vanity Fair profile of Sarah Palin
appears to have opened old wounds in the McCain campaign.
... the source of the “Diva” leak was Nicolle Wallace’s husband."
"Peeking Out From the McCain Wreckage: Mitt Romney"
"Someone's got to say it: IS MITT ROMNEY RESPONSIBLE FOR OBAMA'S VICTORY?"
"Vanity: Team Romney Sabotaged Palin and Continuing to Do So?"
"Romney Supporters Trashing Palin"
"Romney advisors sniping at Palin?"
The McCain/Palin ticket was up ++4 to 10 pts in some polls, days prior to Election 2008. As I have pointed out repeatedly, based on the listing of all the polls at Real Clear Politics, there were no polls putting McCain/Palin ahead anywhere near the election, much less "days" before.
There were a total of 7 recognized polls that showed McCain/Palin up over Obama, out of over 130 that were taken from the time Palin was announced.
Of those 7, the last had McCain at +2, and that was 40 days before the election -- weeks, not days.
There was a single outlier poll showing +10, and that was 58 days before the election -- essentially two full months.
Other than the 9/25 outlier, the last poll showing McCain/Palin ahead was 9/11 -- 54 days before the election.
The McCain/Palin poll average was never more than 2.9% ahead of Obama.
The McCain/Palin ticket truly only led Obama in the immediate bounce during and after the convention.
McCain's poll collapse corresponded with his inept handling of the financial crisis.
Frankly, it's sad to see a conservative blaming Palin, even indirectly, for the McCain/Palin ticket problems. Palin was attacked brutally, but she handled it admirably, and it wasn't Palin that pulled down the ticket. It was McCain.
