I loathed McCain and was determined that he was going to be the first GOP candidate in my life that I refused to vote for. The selection of Palin changed that in a split-second, and I cast my vote (for HER) with a level of enthusiasm that I had not experienced since the days of Ronald Reagan.
A study wasn’t necessary. It was obvious to anyone with a brain paying attention that it was only as close as it was because of Palin. McCain got about 60-million votes. 10-million of those voters wouldn’t have crossed the street to shake his hand. They voted for Palin. Without her, McCain gets a Mondale type beating.
She brought 20 points to the table, I don’t care what anyone says.
My state GOP coordinator echos the sentiment that because of her, McCain lost 20 points.
He lost 20 points, because he was campaigning for Hussein.
He did everything he could to throw the race.
He was a palooka, plain and simple.
Same here. Captain Queeg disgusts me but Sarah gave me hope that all was not lost.
It was McCain who damaged Palin, not vice versa. I wish she hadn’t run with him, because after four more successful years governing AK, she would have made the ideal candidate in 2012. What might have been...
I make this exact point every time somebody starts in on Palin's intellect. It generally causes them to short circuit for a second or two as they recognize the truth and then have to quickly reroute the hate through a new logic path in their brains.
Little John got more votes than Romney did. Without Palin
Little John would just been a Rino HOBBIT.
I am not at all surprised by this, as hubby and I voted for Palin -— not McCain. He just happened to be on the ballot with her.
Joe is sexy. That’s the meme they trotted out in 2012.
Romney received about a million more votes than McCain.

McCain, Romney, Dole, (and even both Bushes). The (s)Hits Just Keep On Comin’.
I totally agree with that. That’s why it has been so hard for me to buy into the ‘she owed him’ line.
She did him a massive favor by agreeing to be tainted by being associated with him on his ticket. Then his crew mistreated her. He said nothing. Dissed her when she was mentioned for a run herself.
What more did/does it take to see this guy for who he was and is?
Without Palin he would have lost by another 15-20 points easy.
He’s the worst candidate the party has nominated in the history of the Republican Party.
Frankly, I saw McCain for who he was and realized he would have given Palin the Lyndon Johnson (ex: John and Robert Kennedy’s treatment of him) treatment after Kennedy had won.
John would have relegated her to emptying the trash, and not contributing to any worthwhile policy decisions.
There’s no way her views would have fit into his plans.
She should have simply refused to lift his campaign up. I’ve never faulted her for joining the ticket, but if you get right down to it, she wasn’t going to improve his terms in office.
And let’s not forget the instaneous boost in campaign contributions that began on the eve of her nomination/acceptance speech and continued throughout the campaign. The RNC and Mac’s folk were sure happy to publish the big inflow for about two weeks. Sure would like to see the number of dollars that rolled in earmarked as being donated because of Gov. Palin. Mine certainly were.
Once Gov. Palin’s consistent ability to outdraw the Groper nominee, they shut the hell up and started presenting their hind quarters to the mystery mullah. And proceeded to sandbag and ambush Gov. Palin. I will never forget nor forgive the silence of the RNC, GOP, and the previous GOP contenders as the MSM stooped to the lowest and vilest personal attacks on the Gov. And her family. Not one man among them remained a steadfast ass-kicking defender to the end of the fight. Not one. Will despise these so called men til my dying day.
Not according to this Freeper post
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/2956841/posts
“McCain got MORE votes in 2008 than Romney in 2012. In fact, McCain got 2,124,424 MORE VOTES than Romney !!”
Obama got 9 million more votes the first time around than the second time.
oh, please! Don’t pass off this crap here. Geez...
Out of the four people on the 2008 ticket, Sarah Palin was the only one who was reasonably sane, and the only one reasonably qualified to be President.
