Obama had conventional wisdom against him as well but won in a tidal year. And I would also add ran, non-politically speaking, an excellent campaign (though I disagree with it).
Of course experience isn’t everything or else McCain would have won. McCain was winning until the stock market went South. But that’s neither here nor there. Her problem is less experience than 1) she resigned and 2) drama. Number 2 used to be her “big” problem but got eclipsed in a big way in July 2009.
I would replace the phrase “excellent campaign” with “exceptional campaign.” If it allowed me.
“Her problem is less experience than 1) she resigned and 2) drama”
The above just confirms that you dislike Palin. You follow politics so you know the rationale for her resigning as Governor. I won’t insult your intelligence by covering that again.
Nothing personal, but your McCain credentials from the beginning show 1)you have no perspective on what it takes to win 2)you are a liberal or possibly a moderate Republican.
Your credibility is zero when it comes to Palin, because you’ve shown your fondness for RINOs. Again, your supporting McCain from the beginning of the Primary to your organizing of the McCain List from the beginning puts you square with the RINO Republicans.
That is fine, but your credibility in evaluating conservative candidates and consistently posting negative Palin posts is what it is.
