They weren't voting for McCain, they were voting for Palin. ...while hoping (like it was implied during the campaign) that McCain would NOT finish his term in office.

I didn’t SAY that......

I just considered the probabilities.

Besides, even if McCain made it through all four years, the things to consider were that Palin is much more responsive to conservative values and could have had an impact on McCain’s policies and decision making.

Plus, it would have been invaluable experience for her.
