not a push because the base would not have gone anywhere for mccain.
I would have done NOTHING for a mccain candidate with a genetric VP. ZIP.
Most of the volunteers I met were of the same mind. (conservatives for a person, sorry mr. rino hip hop steele) Sarah was a pure asset.
Just look at the crowds. Obama had huge crowds (consolodations and rent a mob unionistas) and Palin was number two with thousands who just came to see her. When McCain was alone he could barely muster hundreds in a regualar stump speech.
The physical evidence stomps your claim.
And the election result stomps yours. McCain lost. End of story.
