curious that people talk this way when stats show that the problem with the republicans was not that obama brought out significantly more democrats but rather that McCain inspired significantly fewer republicans to vote.
McCain was the most liberal of republicans. the one most willing to agree with the liberal critics. McCain was the one most eager to please the atheists. They peed on him of course. While McCain discouraged the base from voting.

Exactly, I know quite a few people who vote Republican and only Republican who would not vote for McCain regardless of the fact that they loved Sarah.
If he had not put Palin (or a similarly authentic, conservative 9from what I could tell) figure) on the ticket, I would have voted third party.
McCain ran an awful campaign. As someone else here said, I’m sorry Obama won, but I’m glad McCain lost.
