I’d say picking John McCain was the huge mistake.

Ditto...

Bush/Cheney was a big mistake.

Yes, Cheney is wrong and McCain was the poor choice.

I believe Palin was a bold choice. I believe Quayle hurt Bush-1 but he survived. Quayle had been an upcoming bright Senator (ala Rubio) but the media sliced and diced him from the git-go.

Ferarro was similarly torn apart due to “questions” about her husband. (Media usually does not care about men’s spouses — unless they are Republicans)

I’d like to see Mitt pick Sarah this time. I do not see anyone better. Jeb Bush? are you kidding? Then a bunch of nobodys (ala Pawlenty). The media would ballyhoo Christy’s girth unmercifully.

The only one who may help deliver a key state, Ohio, would be Portman but he is really not well known in the Buckeye state.

Puckings are slim.

I would have liked Gen Petraeus but Bambi has marinated him in so much crap in the mishandled wars, he may have some tarnish.

My immediate thought, too. Palin was inspired. Nominating old, lethargic, listless, “cross-the-aisle,” uninspiring, GOP-Establishment to the core, McCain was an epic blunder.

Yeppers. I voted for Sarah Palin not that motard McCain. The Republican party is in the crapper as far as I’m concerned. :(

Agreed. McCain was the mistake on the 2008 ticket. Worst candidate in my lifetime.

I agree and how do Obama and Biden get a pass, neither is qualified to run a newspaper route.

I absolutely agree with you and Cheney making a statement like this I find irritating....to me it is like the Dems still blaming Bush for everything and now the GOP is still trying to blame Palin for McCain’s loss.......

Picking John McCain proved the GOPe learned nothing from picking Bob Dole as a candidate.

My first thought, too. The media pre-picked him and a lot of people bought it.

Agreed. Who would have guessed that the MSM would throw their own rule about not beating up on a girl out the window and attack her almost 24/7 with fabricated BS. She got it from the MSM worse than Justice Clarence Thomas ever did. I’d still vote for her today.
