I agree with you that she fired up the base initially. However, she alienated moderates, AND she started alienating conservatives as it became clearer that she was not up to the job. Her numbers dropped steadily through the campaign.

She was a mistake.

With all due respect (not much), you’re an ass.

It wouldn't have mattered. McCain was DOA either way. And judging from the horrible manner in which he managed his campaign, if that had been the way he governed as POTUS, we really would have been in deep doo doo. The fact is, like Obama, McCain has never had any executive experience, he was just in the Senate longer. And purely judging from the way both candidates ran their respective campaigns, Obama was a much better executive, although I greatly disagree with his stated policies.

You are full of shit. Her popularity increased day after day. And she is more qulaified than Obama. She runs a state, Hussein runs his mouth.

LOL, McCain would have lost by 20 and Barack would have gotten 60% of the vote if McCain hadn't picked Palin.

That's the freaking truth of the matter.
