Meh, just because Obama is a moron doesn't mean Palin would have been better. Even then, Palin wasn't running for president, McCain was. The shift to McCains campaign mentioned when Palin was chosen as his VP was likely due to the disgruntled female voters when Hilary lost the Democrat seat, not because Palin was better than McCain. Just as the approval ratings for Obama had a slight spike when he added Hilary to his own administration. However had McCain done more to show he was serious when he first mentioned a push for better "separation of church and state" laws instead of picking someone who constantly talked about their religious ideals in politics he could have taken in more undecided and independent voters than Obama, and he probably would have had a string victory instead of a crushing defeat. I was embarrassed for out country at how this last election went, not to mention ashamed because of how much Obama had won by. It only reinforced my contention that modern pop-culture is ruining us now.
McCain was not the 'best' the GOP had to offer, but he made it to the end. Once he chose Palin, the end.
Palin is not the future for the near future. Might she 'mature?' Maybe. Lots and lots of missteps. That she drew such 'numbers?' That were the 'Evangelical' type of 'conservatives.' Not mainstream 'conservatives.'
I can't argue that, I was only paying attention to the Democrats until they chose Obama, and by then the Republicans had already chosen McCain so I didn't hear much of the other choices and didn't really care, too busy face palming over the choice of Obama to notice much else.
