If McCain were half as smart as he thinks he is, he would have unleashed Palin as symbol of their ticket.
Instead, he in an apparent fit of selfish ego, did the opposite.
That is why he lost. Because he lacks imagination, and is self-absorbed enough to believe the enthusiasm in the campaign was actually about him.
speaking of losing political campaigns, the chief FOX/Obama apologist and propaganndist Juan Williman actually said this moring on the Chris Wallace show that the White House would be extremely happy if they had to run against Perry. hahahaha. Good one
