Rendell, Specter say Palin hurt McCain's chances

GOP vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin took some heat Wednesday from two of Pennsylvania's top political leaders.

Democratic Gov. Ed Rendell told business leaders at a postelection breakfast that John McCain would have had a better chance of winning Pennsylvania with a different running mate, and U.S. Sen. Arlen Specter, a GOP moderate, rejected the idea that the Republican party might belong to Palin.

“Pennsylvania? It’s gone blue, they even reelected Murtha. Pennsylvania, like England is lost.”

In the immortal words of Ann Coulter they’re not racists they’re retards.

[geezerwheezer]

The GOP might have carried Pennsylvania if Spector wasn’t on the ticket. The dude is a frickin’ idiot and a dork!

[princeofdarkness]

I do not want the RNC to support this toad, Snarlin’ Arlen Rectum. This guy is the perfect example of what is wrong with the GOP. I would love for that guy Toomey to run against him again in the primaries.

[McGruff]

Specter said

[I see my hands]

The first order of business for both parties is to immediately and thoroughly destroy Palin.

[Thane_Banquo]

RINOs lose the election, and blame it on conservatives. Sorry Arlen, but without our votes, Republicans couldn’t get elected to dog catcher.

[Madeleine Ward]

It’s simple.

Donate to Specter’s opponent, and I don’t care if it’s a Dem.

[timestax]

THEY ARE SCARED OF GOVERNOR PALIN! This sexism harrasement must be stopped!

[hsmomx3]

I find it very hard to believe that she did not know that Africa is a continent.

That to me sounds like disinformation.

[Fawn]

Well....their both full of ____ -—if it wasn’t for Palin, I wouldn’t of cared one iota about who won.

[MEGoody]

Yeah, like Specter speaks for conservatives.

[onedoug]

These RNC bozos can go to hell.

Never again!

[nhwingut]

Another Bush legacy. He campaigned for this RINO hard against Toomey in ‘04.

[lakeman]

Well well well We wouldn’t want to break up the old boys club now would we.

[mockingbyrd]

Yeah, let’s listen to the old guy tell us about the future. Since he did such a great job rounding up the young people in his state to vote for McCain. At least Sarah delivered her state for the party.

[I see my hands]

To: Sen. Loser McAhole

Hey you! Punk! Start defending Palin now!

[kempster]

I was very close to sitting out the election until Sarah got in. If it would have been McCain/Specter I would have moved to another country.

[Robert A Cook PE]

Fascinating, a Democrat and a RINO telling us that a true conservative was at fault. Get REAL!

So real conservatives need to listen to a democrat and a RINO from a blue state tell Republicans how to run a party.

Yeah right. /sarchasm - the gaping hole between a RINO and the truth.

[TheFourthMagi]

Even now, they fear her more than ever. She is the real change that America needs, and she will end the unfortunate Presidency of Barack Hussein Obama in 2012.

I was at a fundraiser for Specter back in September and he was praising the selection of Palin. This quisling will not get my vote next time so I guess I won’t be voting. It looks like our choice will be Arlen Specter or Chris Matthews. To hell with both of them!
