Those rallies obvious didn’t translate into the sort of votes the Republican ticket needed to win.
They fared about as well as Bob Dole did.
But you have a point, those crowds were there for Sarah Palin. She was the rockstar on the ticket. She is the one people went to go see, and went to vote for. And yet she still fell 10 million votes short.
That’s a really huge amount. It wasn’t close at all.

Look at the hard numbers.
Why would anyone on our side advocate a repeat of that?
It amounts to an endorsement of 0bama’s reelection.

RINO McCain took the conservative vote for granted...I know a lot of them who didn't go to the polls because of HIM....not her. And I also know many including myself who DID go to the polls because of her and in spite of him.

Your position defies logic.

The election was primarily about McCain, he was the one running for President, not Sarah. Adding her to the ticket added many more millions of votes that McCain with a Moderate VP like Ridge (who was on his short list) he would never had gotten.

There is a simple answer for you, counterpunch. Some people who would have voted for Sarah Palin alone would never vote for her with McCain at the top of the ticket. He was too much of a RINO. McCain stabbed so many people in the back that it did not matter to them who was on the ticket running with him. They would never vote for McCain.

I keep hearing people saying there is plenty of time for an unknown candidate to come up. I guess they are hoping for a Bill Clinton. Because the truth is the only candidate we will be able to get who is at all conservative with any name power is Sarah Palin. Unless this unknown makes him or herself known very soon, a conservative will not have the time to become known. The MSM will make sure of it and if they do become known you can rest assured that the media will tear them apart as viciously as they have gone after Sarah.

The only ones they will leave alone are RINOs, the ones like Romney whom they like so much. But Romney and Huckabee both have particular problems, they are both RINOs and they are both the reason we had McCain as a candidate. If anyone brings the voters feelings of deja vu, it is either of these two RINOs. We have already been there and done that with them. Everyone knows they are RINOs and no one in there own party wanted either of them enough for them to win against a backstabbing lunatic.

Sarah won’t have that problem.
