Historical BTTT!
What an azzhat. Isn’t he dead yet?
McCain selecting Palin may have been bad for the U.S.
A 49 state landslide walloping which might have diminished him enough that he wouldn’t have been able to damage the country as much as he has since then.
Palin probably would have risen in the party anyway. It would have just taken longer for it to happen, and she wouldn’t have been tarred with association with a scumbag like McCain.
Thank you, KC_Lion for showing us again this iconic photo of Sarah and Jim.
Yeah like maybe succumb to internal bitterness and keel over dead at 3:00 pm on 1/20/09.
The 2008 election was lost my McCain.
The 2010 and 2014 elections were won by Sarah Palin.
She was the original model for Trump's campaign. She was one of the first to see it and endorse him.
It's a shame Todd got hurt, cause she had to stop campaigning for Trump while he recovered. She would have made the victory margin even bigger.
” U.S. Senator John McCain (R-AZ) expresses regret about choosing former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin as his vice presidential running mate in the 2008 election”
just do us a favor John and live for 18 more days.
I can’t see Obama doing much better than he did under any circumstances.
Yeah, doofus regrets the one good thing he ever did. What an azz.
Was it a mistake because he almost had a heart attack thinking she was going to give him the Presidency when he had already arranged for Obama to win?
It is truly a photo for the ages :)
Yep.

Thanks for the ping; post. Quite possibly the greatest pic ever posted on FR.
BUMP!!!
‘As the vice presidential candidate Palin was able to rally conservatives, who were unexcited about McCain, and encourage those voters to support the GOP ticket.’
if this were really true, the pubs would not have lost the given red states of IN and NC...to say nothing of barely winning MO...
‘Without Palin on the ticket, McCain would have gotten slaughtered,instead of just beaten.’
what states did Palin deliver to McCain that he wouldn’t have won anyhow...?
IMO, I think he does, but as a politician he’s a REAL schmuck.
