He could have picked a better candidate, and ran a better campaign.
O.K. So let me get this straight....
Mac screwed up by picking the person who was easilly the most pro-gun running mate he could possibly find. Much more so than even he himself is.
I presume your theory is that he should have dredged up a watered down sad excuse for a conservative to run with him? Ya, that would have really motivated the core of the RNC.
Jeepers Creepers, that's some strategy ... find watered down, wishy washy, phoney baloney conservatives, and ditch the few folks out there who have been brought up pro-gun since before they plugged their first moose.
The Palin pick was a stroke of genious! And I was most impressed to hear that it was Macs brain child, which he made in opposition to his advisors.
Without Palin on the ticket he would have not made nearly as good of a showing.
Obama had a landslide of liberal money and free media on top of that, and he was tossed softballs from day one.
and OBTW, has any one heard a single question about whether Carolyn Kennedy has the experience needed to be a US sentor? Talk about a flippin' double standard... which proves my long held theory that Liberals Rot!
