Thanks to the Mac camp and Carl Cameron , the blame for the loss they give to Palin, when in fact, Mac would have lost by a landslide...if she had not been on the ticket.
Who drew the crowds? Who is the biggest threat to the libeal dems? Sarah Palin.
It is not just the liberal Dems she threatens, but the RINOs as well. Why do you think they are so quick to slander and try to present her as a bimbo? To shut down an attempt for the nomination in 2012.
She scares the MSM, too.
Keep track of the ones doing the slandering, the ones who broke the Reagan rule, and make sure that lot has to get their checks from the side they are on.
The country club RINOs are also trying to brand her as some 'hick from the sticks' because she scares the heck out of them and represents a power shift in the party--back to the Conservative base. You can see who voted Republican--rural areas, and largely because of Sarah.
I am just one of many who voted Republican because of Sarah Palin and not because of McCain who was number six of the seven primary contenders in my book.
But did she also place an upper limit on votes...that is, did she scare away some voters, too? Maybe Sen. John McCain would have gotten only a few votes on his own, but regardless, he lost. If Gov. Palin adds 30% of voters, that might seem good...but it's actually irrelevant if she simultaneously keeps away 60% of voters (I know of a handful of people who didn't vote for McCain because of Sarah Palin.)
I'm not saying that's the case, but it's something we must consider.
