“And I will tell you the honest truth. If Palin hadn’t been on the ticket, I would have stayed home.”

Same here with a lot of us.

I wouldn't have stayed home, but I would have penciled in Duncan Hunter. Palin was the reason that McCain only suffered a stinging defeat, instead of having his ass handed royally to him a platter. Then he kicked her to the curb, fed her to the MSM, and promptly cozied up to the enemy...again.... gimpy little bastard!

I wouldn't have stayed home, but I would have penciled in Duncan Hunter.

Same here, but only in petulance since Fred dropped out as he did. That ticked me off. If it hadn't been for the way he handled it, I'd have penciled in his name.

In the primary, I did vote for Hunter AND he had already dropped out by the time CA got to vote. But for the general, when you've done all you can to get the conservative on the ballot, you have to make a choice. Obama looked evil then and no way would I sit at home and let him walk away with it without a fight.

And I won't next time, either.
