Same here.. when my wife asked who he should pick for his running mate I said Sarah Palin... that’ll ensure a conservative voice.
When I mentioned I had picked her after McCain announced none of my friends believed it until my wife confirmed!
I liked Sarah, but I’d seen enough about Obama to know I didn’t want him. The GOP could have run Deez Nutz and I would have voted for him. I have changed my mind in light of McCains behavior over the past few years. I shouldn’t have voted for him.
I voted Bob Barr.
McCains loss and Romneys loss were the best things that happened to the GOP.
Us conservatives would have been in the wilderness for generations if those open borders globalists had become president.
Sarah Palin was not enough for me to vote McCain.
First time I did not vote GOP in a presidential election and I have no regrets.
I think you would find 90% of the people who voted for the McCain/Palin ticket voted for it because of Sarah. McCain is just about the most hideous unlikeable guy for the job.
If McCain hadn't chosen her as his running mate, I probably would have stayed home in November.
I truly did not like that man, and felt duped about being forced to vote for him.
I voted for her.. all the hero stuff and non stop war imagery creeped me out about McCain.
I have always thought of Trump as Palin version 2.0, they are very similar. The white hot hate and attacks they receive is certainly similar.
I never understood why Sarah was so loyal to him, even though he backstabed her in a few interviews after. I remember him responding to a question and giving names of ‘up and coming republicans’ he gave a few names and then smiled and asked: notice who I left out?
I remember his campaign deciding to bypass a State altogether, and Sarah saying: why? Why skip it? I could be there for a few days.. she was scolded for breaking form with the campaign line..
I did admire McCain for his energy, how in the world a man so old could make so many campaign stops..
Thank god he didn’t choose Lieberman.
Me as well!

I had a McCain/Palin sticker on my car. While pumping gas a woman came over and said, “I really love your sticker. Sarah Palin is incredible! Because of her, I’m voting for McCain even though I normally vote Democrat!”
I loved her too and would watch every rally on TV just to see he speak. Towards the later part of the campaign, Sarah got less and less time to speak. It was as if McCain was jealous that he was being upstaged by her. To correct that situation, he gave her less and less time. What an egoistic schmuck. He lost the election because of his cocky personality.
Ditto here.
Is this the beginning of a ‘ME Too” movement?
If so, Me Too!!!
Ditto.
I voted for her, not he-who-mustnt-be-named
I’d also volunteer for her security detail without hestitation.
I voted for Sarah, not John. I despised McC (RIP) ever since he pulled that McCain-Feingold caper on Bush2. McC made sure that the. Senate would take up no other business in the Senate until McCain-Feingold passed. Then Senator Jeffers jumped parties and the Republican Senate leader, in “fairness” , though he didn’t need to with a 50-50 Senate, let committees have equal numbers from each party. Most Republicans do not like to lead. They prefer to swim in the swamp.
