Palin wanted to barnstorm the upper Midwest, forecasting what Trump did in 2016. Instead the McCain campaign shut down even talking about contesting Michigan days after her “hockey moms” speech electrified the GOP convention. The hockey moms were ready to fight so hard for and with Sarah and the GOPe just brushed them aside.
remember McCain dismissed joe the plumber? or Obama’s spread the wealth comments.
as said waaaaay back. He ran a senatorial campaign rather than a presidential campaign.
