And here we were all thinking the strategic blunder was picking Sarah Palin.
McCain’s other strategic blunder, and a much worse one, was backing amnesty for illegals. Something like 76% of people polled oppose it. It was a wedge issue, and McCain squandered it.
the other was cap ‘n trade. remember the Obama quote about bankrupting coal companies and skyrocketing electricity prices? Why didn’t mccain bring it up earlier? because his cap ‘n trade would also do that.
