it would not even be a race without Palin.
“it would not even be a race without Palin.”
Exactly. It’s amazing that Palin is still taking a beating when the VP on the other ticket thinks ‘President’ Roosevelt went on TV during the stock market crash of ‘29, thinks that we’re negotiating with Iran, and who thinks the surge was a failure. These are just the examples I can think of right now, obviously there are more. Palin’s not good in an interview? Biden’s not good when he THINKS. I’m sticking with Sarah...
palin totally changed the dynamic of this race. conservatives or not, i dont much care what these people think about sarah.
You said it. It would not even be a race without Gov. Palin. If Sen. McCain loses (and I predict a landslide for McCain) the reason he was ever close was Governor Sarah Palin.
Indeed! Sarah has brought the McCain candidacy to the threshold of victory. If McCain loses, it's on him and him alone.
It apparently didn't occur to these "enlightened" souls that the only reason McCain/Palin rallies draw 60,000 people in places like Florida (and without a rock show warm-up) is Sarah Palin. Otherwise, we're looking at a decent, but somewhat anemic, wrinkled old white guy. I'd vote for him without her, but the choice of Sarah has fired me up!
Do I wish that Sarah had been born 7-8 years earlier and had a term or two as govenor behind her? Yes, I do. The problem is, there was no one who was a perfect choice. Jindal is even greener than Palin; Mitt would be too much of the "old boy" type (and the Mormon stuff would drive away some voters); ditto Fred T; there just weren't any ideal choices this time. McCain picked the best "man" available (in the broad sense) and hit a home run. It amazes me how some conservatives are perennially gloomy no matter what.
