My choices in order of preference were:

Thompson
Romney
Huckabee
Giuliani
McCain
Paul

So...

...the only thing I go that I wished for was Paul's ongoing political obscurity.

Hunter was at the top of mine........I'm afraid he was at the bottom or not even on everyone elses list. ....then Thompson and everyone else was at the bottom.

So.... in my book we were scraping the bottom of the barrel ....until Palin showed up.

I had forgotten about Hunter and Trancredo.

That means the gulf between my hopes and reality just got that much wider.

McLame should be handing her his loyalty not letting his staff and the press force an apology for possibly costing him votes - COSTING HIM VOTES? She is the only reason he had any!

That's a no-shitter, he would've been lucky to break 20% without her.  The moderates he supposedly wanted on board really never had any reason at all to vote for him over Obama, and the base regards him (correctly as I see it) as somewhat to the left of the blue-dog Democrats, and they would've stayed home in droves.

Dear John:

If not for Sarah Palin, I would have voted for Bob Barr.

She is unquestionably the only thing that carried Missouri for him.

I hate to be the lone voice of dissent here, I really really do.  Because I like Sarah Palin, and I know that she would have been a strong VP.

But an enormous group of white males who voted for Obama in this election did so because they bought into the media's portrayal of Sarah Palin as "an idiot". 

"I was gonna vote for McCain until he picked that idiot."

I heard it so many times I couldn't stand it anymore.  And I even heard it from a lot of women.

I don't think that she'll be a viable candidate for President in 2012 unless she REALLY makes some headlines in the meantime.

The media buried her.

I doubt any of them really would have voted for him, they are just looking for an excuse that doesn't involve them doing any real explaining.

On the idiot scale, Joe Biden is the clear winner, but his 'vast experience' (of being wrong on virtually every issue on which he has taken a position, plagiarism, and being the lapdog of the credit card industry) went wholly unremarked.  The media was going to attack the GOP VP pick heartily and relentlessly no matter who it was, since given his hero status it would look too over-the-top to go rabid on McCain himself.

I watcher late last night when she landed in Alaska and had a press conference...She was visibly angry, pissed off at the press and stated how she felt.  I couldn't tell if she was pissed at the press or the campaign.  She had spunk...too bad she was held back.   I saw a different side to her...of course she's not running anymore, so her words were not carefully orchestrated.  The dumbasses that are in charge of doing that should be FIRED. Because she is great when she speaks from the heart.

I didn't see any of that in the South. She resonated well here. Hunter, friendly to the NRA, can field dress a Moose, hot as hell, blue collar, and worked as a fisherman.

I never heard anybody say that at all, but I'm up north a bit. Go back to the morning after barack's speech and read the threads on this board - there was true excitement for this woman.

As far as what the media did to her that was ALL the campaigns fault.  They handled her poorly and that left the door wide open to the media - Gibson and Couric?  Are you kidding me McCain????  They gave her no cover from constent attacks and did nothing to defend her - hello $150,000 in clothes, hello in accessable/ hiding her away -- she spoke to the press more than ****ing barack did!

That brings my back to my original point: **** McCain, the sad part is all of his loser staff will end up on some other campaign down the road ****ing up some other good candidate's chance of getting elected.  ***holes.

I heard this from people who aren't particularly political......people I encountered on the job, in-laws, local radio-callers, you name it.  You know - the traitors who let my red state turn blue (VA).

Well those people have to look themselves in the mirror and hopefully they all get a really nasty case of hives, or something.

Not that it mattered a whole lot here in Oregon, but I know of one person who would have not bothered with the presidential line without her.


McCain was never popular with the base.  Obama brought real excitement to the other side.   I detest the man, but I have to recognize he made everyone on his side super enthusiastic in a way I havn't seen for either party for years.

No, my friends, there’s only one really progressive idea. And that is the idea of legally limiting the power of the government. That one genuinely liberal, genuinely progressive idea — the Why in 1776, the How in 1787 — is what needs to be conserved. We need to conserve that fundamentally liberal idea. That is why we are conservatives. --Bill Whittle

The only reason the washed up half dead looking GOP nominee for Prez got as many votes as he did was because Sarah Palin infused some life into his limp dick campaign.
