Well, GMU is succumbing to beltway-think -- that explains the professor's PDS. But the professor is right about the first reason McCain lost -- I also think it was his biggest strategic mistake. And McCain made it years ago. What was it? Campaign Finance Reform.

Still, the perfesser is off his rocker with the beltway affliction in re Palin. Palin was McCain's greatest tactical success.

Wow another article hellbent on convincing us Palin is to blame for McCain losing. This really goes a long way to proving Peggy Noonan’s point about the rascally media trying to make Palin the face of our party. /s

Huh... So much for my relatively high opinion of George Mason University.

I know he’s only an “associate professor” (you wonder how many rocks the Washington Post had to kick over to find this guy) but it is disappointing that GMU would hire a pantload like Mayer in the first place. “Hard right”? Sarah Palin? Well, like they say, opinions are like a-holes and a-holes have opinions.

This is the only guy on the cutting edge of hindsight who gets it wrong.

McCain leaned hard right? Who knew? Musta leaned while no one was looking but snapped back to a comfortable left, right?

“Although the Alaska governor was well received at first, the excitement around her died down after it became apparent that she “knew nothing."

The libs voted for Obama even though it was apparent that he knew nothing.

[Windflier]

Puhleeez....

John McCain mistook himself for someone who the American people would vote into the Presidency.

He probably would have gotten a third of the votes that he did get, minus Sarah Palin.

John McCain is his own “mistake”.

[TaxRelief]

Ah! Another Sarah Palin hit piece.
