You’ve got an odd way of analysing elections.
The election was a test of votes Palin could generate verses those 0bama could generate.
That’s how people actually voted when they went to the polls.
No one compartmentalizes an election the way you are suggesting. Supporters of a candidate come out to vote for that candidate. Everyone who wanted to vote for Sarah Palin did. Just like if there was some big Joe Biden fan out there, they would vote for his ticket.
Sarah Palin just didn’t have enough supporters in the end. Not more than 0bama had. He got more people out to the polls than she did. A lot more.
0bama’s supporters outnumbered Sarah Palin’s supporters. His supporters outnumbered Sarah Palin’s supporters and John McCain’s supporters combined. The two of them together couldn’t get enough people out to vote to overcome the number of people 0bama got out to vote. It has nothing to do with Sarah Palin being ‘defeated’ by Joe Biden of all things, and I never came anywhere near suggesting it did.
It was her (and McCain’s) supporters vs. 0bama’s supporters.
She came up short. The votes just weren’t there for her.
To somehow pass the responsibility of this last election loss on Sarah Palin is downright ignorant of you. McCain LOST, not Palin. Palin was the only thing that kept McNasty from losing by double digits.
I realize that you will continue to argue the facts, but kindly refrain from responding to this post. For some reason, you see yourself as the ultimate authority on the subject and all other opinions are superseded by your self appointed clarification or analysis.
So, have a great day and see what happens a year or so down the road. Arguing about it so disingenuously here and now is a complete waste of time.
