Ineligible RINO Backstabber:
"Thank me. Whenever I cheat, I win."
Whenever I lose, my devoted servile Anchor Wife Wallace
makes even that a ‘win’.

FLASHBACK:

The McCain/Palin ticket was up ++4 to 10 pts
in some polls, days prior to Election 2008.
So rather than helping the GOP, Romney and
TeamROMNEY and the RNME (Republican National Media Establishment)
decided …to attack Gov. Palin to throw Election2008.

Romney, and the Van der Sloot RNME RINOs for Obama in 2008

Late in October, The American Spectator's The Prowler revealed:
"Former Mitt Romney presidential campaign staffers…
have been involved in spreading anti-Palin spin to reporters, seeking to diminish her standing after the election.
'Sarah Palin is a lightweight, she won't be the first, not even the third, person people will think of when it comes to 2012,'
says one former Romney aide…
'The only serious candidate ready to challenge to lead the Republican Party is Mitt Romney.
"Some former Romney aides were behind the recent leaks to media, including CNN, that Governor Sarah Palin was a 'diva' and was going off message intentionally."

The Palmetto Scoop reported: "One of the first stories to hit the national airwaves was
the claim of a major internal strife between close McCain aides and the folks handling his running mate Sarah Palin."
"I’m told by very good sources that this was indeed the case and that a rift had developed, but it was between Palin’s people and the staffers brought on from the failed presidential campaign of former Gov. Mitt Romney, not McCain aides."
"The sources said nearly 80 percent of Romney’s former staff was absorbed by McCain and these individuals were responsible for what amounts to a premeditated, last-minute sabotage of Palin."
… aides loyal to Romney inside the McCain campaign, said The Scoop, reportedly saw
that Palin would be a serious contender for the Republican nomination in 2012 or 2016, which made her a threat to another presidential quest by Romney.

"These staffers are now out trying to finish her off ….hoping it would ingratiate themselves with Mitt Romney."

"Who's the Palin Leaker from the McCain Campaign?
National Review Online The publication of a Vanity Fair profile of Sarah Palin
appears to have opened old wounds in the McCain campaign.
... the source of the “Diva” leak was Nicolle Wallace’s husband."

"Peeking Out From the McCain Wreckage: Mitt Romney"

"Someone's got to say it: IS MITT ROMNEY RESPONSIBLE FOR OBAMA'S VICTORY?"

"Vanity: Team Romney Sabotaged Palin and Continuing to Do So?"

"Romney Supporters Trashing Palin"

"Romney advisors sniping at Palin?"

The McCain/Palin ticket was up ++4 to 10 pts in some polls, days prior to Election 2008.

That, as I have repeatedly demonstrated, is simply not true. And it's clear you understand that, because you have never in your postings EVER provided a link to ANY poll taken within 50 days of the election showing McCain/Palin up by 10 points.

RCP has virtually all the respectable polling data here General Election 2008.

The last poll that has McCain in the lead is the GWU/Battleground poll, taken September 21-25, 39 days before the election, and that was a 2% lead (less than your "4-10", so it doesn't count). F&M had a poll ending 9/21 with a 2% McCain lead as well.

You have to go back to almost 60 days before the election to find any other polls with a McCain lead. Two polls on 9/11 at +4, and a USA Today on 9/7 with a +10 (That was immediately following the GOP convention).

But the +10 was an outlier, the average through that period never got better than 2.9%, and that was all convention bounce; Obama was back in front by a week after the convention, and it had nothing to do with Mitt Romney.
