And if McCain hadnt picked Sarah he would have gone down to an even more humiliating defeat. The only reason he got as many votes as he did was because of Palin. I agree; but that says more about McCain's weakness that Palin's strength.
The Cult of Palin cannot understand that a national ticket must have broad appeal. Palin excited the hard right - but, she amused or scared the mushy middle. And the mushy middle is who decides elections.

Palin helped McCain to a lead in the polls, and then McCain utterly botched his handling of the financial crisis. He never recovered, so his handlers stabbed Palin in the back.
If Palin is such a lead balloon, then reconcile your claim with the fact that she has helped so many candidates win elections, and is a much-sought-after endorsement for so many pubbies.

Then they should be democrats and stop feeding on the comatose body of the GOP. Moderates are nothing but lying, manipulative, bottom feeding scum. All of their holier than thou blather about compromise and reaching out is reserved for their friends on the left. They are the true purists who will never compromise with the right.
They need to man up and moderate the party that actually needs it.

Damn the mushy middle. They're the ones that support gay marriages and abortions. I'll take Palin any day. What wins elections and motivates people is strength.

After Palin's performance at the convention and after that they were ahead in the polls
The Mushy Middle left when the Financial Meltdown hit
People have short memories about that race
