If John McCain had paused for a moment to consider the jeopardy that his victory would've put the country+[the rest of the world] into, as a result of including the opportunistic/defiant/uninformed Sarah Palin on the ticket. That decision alone was the beginning of Sen McCain's political downfall; and contrary to his argument that he'd rather lose an election than lose a war. This once respected man put his ambition before the country because he was so desperate to win the election and fulfill his agelong ambition. I can understand that some political moves are expected to be made by individual campaigns, but John McCain lost the admiration people had for him just because of this selfish and dumb political move. As for Gov. Sarah Palin, she is a Joke! I'm still trying to figure out what was so funny to the republican base at the convention when whe said "...the difference between a hockey mum and a pitbull, lipstick". I found that so disgusting and ridiculous, while some people (republican base) connected to her as a result of statements like that; I don't get it! Gov. Sarah Palin has the gut to blame Bush for the failure she brought unto the party (or at least contributed mostly)? She needs to shut up and go into exile, cos she is a failure.

This is the first intelligent thing I have heard Palin say. With the Bush record, it should have been a Goldwater-style wipeout for the GOP, and they were indeed lucky to come as close as they did. I can't for the life of me figure out how 46-47% of the population would consider voting for a Republican, given everything that had gone wrong. I think without her on the ticket, the GOP should have got 41-42%. With her, 38-39%. She did energize the base, although she certainly turned off more people than she added. I yield to no one in my detestation of Sarah Palin, but with Bush's approval rating in the 25% range, that would certainly seem to be sufficient cause for the GOP to have gone down in flames. How, indeed, did they do as well as they did? Scary thought. Racism, anyone? I am amazed! This is the first intelligent thing I have heard Palin say.

Perhaps, too, she might give a bit of credit to President Elect Obama and Vice President Elect Biden for running an "above board", positive campaign that actually included a plan for this great country, not just a bunch of smears thrown at their opponents and their party. Any fault for failure belongs clearly on the shoulders of Sen. McCan and Gov. Palin. Sarah Palin SHOULD be saying she blames Palin and McCain for their loss, not Bush!

It was not her fault. It was McCain's fault for choosing her. If he had picked either Romney or Ridge, it would have been a lot closer and maybe even a win. Actually Palin is right.

Having recently watched "W", I feel the saim empathy and pain for Governor Pakin as I do for our current President. I am still amazed that so many people still chose to cast their votes for McCain. Actually, I think he could have won had he chosen Romney or Huckaby and presented the same demeanor he exhibited during his concession speech instead of that angry, cheerleader tyrant tht emerged in the last weeks of the campaign.

Palin is in no position to blame anyone for her own loss. Time to look at herself in the mirror and quit blaming Bush. Her negative and offensive remarks on the trail have more to do with the loss than anything. Palin is a lightning rod of polarization and divisive politics. She's not one to talk.

The only reason McCain had support from the republican side was because he was their only hope to trick the American people into thinking republicans were something different than they actually are. It's nice to see that Palin is able to realize the connection between discontent among American's and Bush. Maybe one day she'll make the extra connection in her mind that links Bush to the rest of the republicans, including McCain, that were more than happy to go along for the ride over the last 8 years.
