If what you said was true, then the final result would have been 73% for Obama and 27% for McCain.
I know of many Independents that were leaning McCain, even after the Palin choice was made.
Once it became known how little experience Palin had and after the disaterous interview with Katie Couric, those Independents went over to Obama.
Palin at least brought the GOP voters out and made it a 5 point race, rather than the 15 point race it would have been without her.
In other words, many so-called "conservatives" were willing to stay home on Election Day and cut off their noses to spite their face because they would rather have a Marxist in the White House than a RINO in the White House.
That is truly pathetic.
Be that as it may, there had to be a better conservative choice than Palin.
Palin was chosen because she was the only conservative female Governor there was and I thought we conservatives were supposed to be against Affirmative Action.
As I noted in another post:
If Sarah Palin had been "Roger Palin", a man who was an ex-small town Mayor and then Governor of Alaska, a state with less than one third the population of Dade County, Florida, for less than two years, would anybody give the slightest consideration to Roger Palin as a serious VP candidate?
