I disagree totally. McCain, without Palin, might have gotten twenty million votes. Forty million of his actual total was because of Palin.
Whether Sarah had 40 million supporters or 60 million supporters doesn’t matter.
All that matters is both are well short of the 70 million supporters 0bama had.
She gave it her best shot, but her best wasn’t good enough in the end.
there is no way around that fact.
No matter how many voters came out for her, it wasn’t enough to overcome the number of voters who came out for 0bama.
Sarah hit her ceiling, and it was too low.
