McCain looked, sounded, and acted tired throughout the whole campaign.
Palin was vibrant, energetic, and engaging. Compared to McCain, she was stunning in her looks, delivery (for the most part) and in how she engaged and connected with whom she spoke.
Her entire presentation/package went far beyond what the press could do - for ill or for good - for those who paid attention.
But the rampant, incessant mantra about Palin's clothing, her pregnant daughter, that friggin' Bridge to Nowhere bullshit all of that eventually overshadowed her.
Why? Because the sheeple listen to the media. And far more listen to the alphabet soup bullshit than to multiple sources.
And we all know about the alphabet soup bullshit.
