I would say that Governor Palin has had the most positive effect on a presidential race in at least modern times.

She turned a loss into...a loss. She had zero effect, in the end.

Remember that usually a veep would not make any difference at all

Which is just what happened. McCain lost anyway.

and in an election year when we know we are doomed from the start and primary choices that leaves McCain as the final choice, then without Palin serving as our surrogate presidential candidate the republican ticket would have suffered much worst losses all the way down the ticket.

Maybe. It certainly didn't change my vote. I was resigned to voting for the GOP no matter what bozo they nominated. And I certainly was going to vote for Scott Garrett come hell or high water.

Something that gets overlooked is how much she carried our spirits up after the election, can the people here imagine how bad our emotional state would have been if we did not have the hope for a future that Palin gave us, if after this defeat we only had those primary losers as the face of our conservative future?

It was definitely an emotional attachment, that's for sure. As for me, my expectations were close to reality, so I was not hungover at all.

One thing is clear you have an agenda, those down ticket losses would have been much worse if McCain had not chosen the one politician in America as his veep that kept this election from being a total catastrophe.

Weren’t you a Huckabee die hard?

Huck, it seems like you’re trying a bit too hard to push your point. We all know the results of the last election. It seems like you’re trying to pick a fight with the people who are big supporters of Governor Palin. Perhaps it would be a good time to just let it go, yes? Save your energy for fighting against those on the left that we all truly oppose. Thanx.
