I seem to recall McCain inching ahead in the polling thanks to the addition of her to the ticket. Then he blew it by mishandling the economic news, rushing back to D.C. and embracing the stimulus. Polls plunged. Sarah didn’t lose that race. The darlin’ of the elitist GOP establishment did. It’s laughable anyone would attempt to imply it was Palin who lost to Obama when she wasn’t the one setting the campaign agenda and response. To the contrary, McCain’s staff worked to silence or sabotage her.
McCain did everything possible to lose the election. He almost blew his plan up, though, when he selected her as VP.
One wonders what kind of effect the Palin's would have had on the Michigan results.
(the above) Is the honest truth..."Strawberries" McPain, Did not want to win.
