She really just felt like he was trying to grab an identity-based vote. "See, look, a woman! You got the first black President so I'll have the first female vice President." Whole thing just felt like weak, focus group pandering, except without a focus group and just based on his or the RNC's assumption. Nothing against her. She was run through the typical media machine. But she wasn't the best candidate.
I mean, whatever, it worked out, and McCain was a total piece of shit. Kind of evident by the fact that the Dems adopted him as their pet Republican.
I think I was so demoralized by the primary season and the candidate that I saw the DC outsider as a bright spot.
The GOP had it all wrapped up long before Florida so my vote was meaningless. The debates were lackluster. I knew the guys I liked could never win. It was a shit sandwich.
I liked that she was a Governor of an energy state and that she wanted to produce American energy instead of kissing OPEC ass. And she was energetic to counterbalance McStain's total lack of energy and charsima. At that time that was good enough for me.
You thought he wanted or knew how to win by picking Palin? Why? She was horrible for him.
It turned out that way, but it was largely his fault.
She was not establishment, hadn't gone for the nom, a few things that made her a surprise. I expected someone from the Bush camp.

Ahhh I'm pissed at the GOP all over again!
