Without Palin McCain would have gotten Idaho and Utah, and that’s really just about it. Only reason McCain would have even gotten those States is a gumby doll registered Republican would carry ID and UT.
LOL!
Most of the south votes R now regardless of who the candidate is. Texas and Oklahoma are always solid (OK went 63% for McCain, not a single blue county).
This talk of leaving the R party or not voting for them is all based on a rumor from one guy at Fox, and we all fall for it? C’mon. Realistically, a third party would only have a chance if the R party collapsed. That’s not going to happen.
I’m glad people are getting their frustrations off their chests, that’s great. But if this country has a future (who knows what Lord 0bama will do), it’s with the R party. It’s where the base of power is.
Building a viable third party that can win major offices is fantasyland. If you want that, joing the Libertarian party. It takes decades to build credibility and you have to start by winning offices at local and state levels. They have been around for decades and have never even done that.
This isn’t directed at you Dom, I just posted to the nearest comment.
