Former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin suggested Republicans would have fared better in 2008 had she, not John McCain, been the messenger of change for the GOP. “I wasn’t at the top of the ticket, remember?”
Speaking at the India Today Conclave in New Delhi, Palin was asked why Republicans were unable to defeat Barack Obama in 2008. Palin told Aroon Purie, editor of India Today that Obama was able to cast himself as the change candidate, and that things might have gone differently had she been the GOP’s presidential candidate. Palin did not suggest that she should have been the nominee.

Pride cometh before a fall.
The understatement of the frickin’ Century. LOL Besides I like girls on top.
Well duh,Sarah!
"Palin did not suggest that she should have been the nominee."
The article seems confused.
This article is an absolute misrepresentation of what she said. Another example of how the media takes her words and puts their interpretation in as fact...she did not indicate this...she made the statement essentially that Obama indicated change and people were wanting change...the reference was that she ran on the need for change also so why didn’t she win the election and she replied she wasn’t the head of the ticket but that she didn’t mean she should have been. Actually....SHE SHOULD HAVE BEEN!
Please! It was a joke - nothing more than that.
I am sure if Sarah had been the Candidate she wouldn’t have said that Obama would make a great President, like Dudley McCain stated.
In working households, I see it over and over...women cancelling hubby's vote, whole familes of gimmees running to the polls.
Come on, Mc Cain would have gone down like Mondale and Mc Govern had he not had Palin on the ticket. Mc Cain was boring, boring, boring and his campaign became energized once Palin got into the picture. Most were voting for her not Mccain, if anything Mc Cain kept most voters home.
They are taking her context for a little dosey doe.
Go back to Bubba...His campaign was “Change”...
yeah that’s sounding a bit cocky if you ask me. And so far Sarah Palin is one I’ve been looking at as the most possible GOP candidate.
I had a feeling some statement like that would come out before too long.
2012 CAN’T COME SOON ENOUGH!!
I seen the lady on the Land O’ Lakes Butter and you are not her.
Lol, you dirty dawg you!!! =)
I agree, it is more ergonomic.
