Doesn't seem to be regretting Palin here.
He wanted to take a dive.
An article from 2013 about a 2007 poll?
Huh?
Obama had a 6.0 percent lead in the Day to Day Politics Poll Average after the Democratic National Convention, but now is trailing after the Republican National Convention and the announcement of Sarah Palin as McCain’s running mate. This is the first time McCain has led Obama in the poll average since the two candidates emerged as their party’s presumptive nominees after the primaries.
After McCain chose Palin, the current Governor of Alaska, as his vice presidential candidate and the Republican National Convention, a Gallup poll had shown that the percentage of Republicans who are enthusiastic about voting has increased by 18%. The Democrats enthusiasm has only increased by 10% since the addition of Joe Biden to the nomination ticket and after the Democratic National Convention.

I think in the end we dodged a giant bullet. Obama was a failure. McCain would have eroded the GOP from the inside.
Hey swamp, we're wise to you now!
This is about polling activity ahead of the 2008 Presidential election - not 2007. And where does 2013 fit in? Most confusing. Sheesh.
to have to choose between the illegal IslamoNazi infiltrator bent on weakening America for our destruction..............and McShame............
what a horrible horrible choice.
It reveals a SERIOUS problem with our electoral system when the only ballot choices that have a genuine chance of winning are both POS’s or dangerous to America, or as in this case, both.
Sarah Palin almost messed up the plan for the Kenyanesian Usurpation.
That’s why the Uniparty hates her.
To be fair to McCain, Bush’s approval rating made it such that unless the Democrats nominated John Edwards (whose sex scandal got exposed after the party’s nation convention) or someone similar, about no Republican was going to win that race. The country was ready to kick the GOP out of the White House big time.
He was in on the plan to lose. He thought asking a little known governor from Alaska would make sure he would lose but the plan almost backfired.
How many here voted more for Palin than McStain? I live in AZ and I have never voted for this putz for anything. Well, in 2007 for Prez, but like I said; it was for Palin not him.
As a senator he would say whatever the public wanted to hear to get elected then do the opposite. I can’t believe there are so many stubbornly ignorant people in this state.
I liked Sarah, but I’m glad McCain lost. I’m glad Romney lost too. We ended up with Trump, so having Obama for 8 years was worth it.
McCain or Obama, Soros had both of them in his pocket...
History, not News Current Events
That was his Palin bump.
McCain would have been just as bad a POTUS as 0bama and would have destroyed the Republican party for good by signing an amnesty bill
McCain wanted to lose.
