Putting Sarah Palin on the ticket most likely boosted his numbers and averted a landslide victory for the Obamster and his Chicago mafia.
The more libs try to trash her the stronger and more influential she becomes.

Do liberals support a flat tax? I do.
Do liberals support the idea of, if *required* to make a choice, a sales tax versus an income tax? I do. (though I want to see it justified)
Do liberals believe in "3 strike and you're out"?
Do liberals support nuclear power - and have they been able to trace that support all the way back to the 1970s? I do, and I can.
Do liberals support doing away with civil service rules to be replaced by a system where merit rules? I do.
I can supply more answers upon request. Go ahead - ask me anything. And if it's not something I've given enough thought to, I'm not afraid to say that I haven't formed an opinion.
And you're right, I *have* omitted that McCain couldn't really be called a 'conservative' based on his recent voting record. That was just an omission from forgetfulness. That's what got conservatives NOT voting for him. Combine that with centrists who viewed him as Bush III, or wouldn't vote for him because of Palin's inexperience *combined* with McCain's evasiveness on his health. Then, add the 'liberal' opinion of anything GOP-related.
Palin boosted McCain's numbers for hours at best. When I first heard the news, I thought it was a brilliant maneuver. But the more I looked into Palin, the more I winced. I mean, come on, DAN QUAYLE had a better resume and was able to overcome the press knocking his inexperience. Palin practically folded the minute she got into a room with Katie Couric. Not some hard-hitting investigative journalist - it was *Katie Couric*. I grant you that's a *subjective* opinion on my part, but comedians all over the country were thanking McCain for delivering Palin as that made their jobs much easier.
How long did it take before word leaked out that the "thinking Africa was a country" debacle was a set-up? That should have lasted TEN MINUTES but it went on for DAYS.
Remember, Congress, in general, has approval ratings under 30%. American dislike for politicians is about the most bi-partisan topic supported.
