LOS ANGELES (AP) -- John McCain said Tuesday that Sarah Palin did not damage his presidential bid, and he dismissed as typical campaign sniping anonymous criticism aimed at her following their crushing defeat.... Read the full story.
Here we go. It seems odd to me that anyone would say anything negative about Palin? Ok that was sarcasm. But it does seem odd. I see that people always want to know why someone lost in an election. However, the only place to look is the main candidate running. It seems to me that at one point in this election the Republican Party (which I happen to belong to) was saying that Palin was an up and comer in the party and a great choice for VP. Now that the party got its backside spanked it wants to cast blame her way. Ok, people grow up and accept defeat we got our arses handed to us. Now its time to move on. Next time maybe we find a better candidate and change the out come. As for Mrs. Palin get off her back she maybe didn't do the best in some of her interviews but she had never seen the national spotlight before. Palin did setup and for the most part held her own.
seems to me that Mccain was closer in teh polls after he added Palin to his ticket. If anything, she help keep him from getting his ass kiked on an even larger scale.
McCain lost because the economy tanked and he belongs to the same party as the one in the White House, when it tanked. Also President-elect Obama ran a nearly flawless compaign and ran on a platform of hope. . . .
McCain lost because he is a lying sack -o- sh*t who offered no hope for the future other than perpetual war and debt so him, his buddies and their kids can maintain their illusion of power and self importance for generations to come. Fight, fight, fight, fight, fight, my friends ~ Jaun McCain
