- I haven't confirmed but I think she turned several lean McCain votes in my family to Obama. - Mel Profit Nov 5, 08:49 1
  - Depending on which exit poll is to be believed, 60-68% of people think she was unqualified. That's a lot of potential alienation. -- nm - David Nov 5, 08:52
- Letterman destroyed McCain's candidacy. -- nm - Mop Nov 5, 08:47 3
  - let's not forget Tina Fey and SNL... - Mel Profit Nov 5, 08:50 1
    - And the Katie Couric interview 'cuz Day-um. -- nm - Diva Nov 5, 08:51
  - All kidding aside, that was a stupid mistake for McCain. -- nm - David Nov 5, 08:49
- She seemed to alienate more women than she brought in. The whole vibe was "I waited 20 years for another female candidate and I got *this*?" -- nm - David Nov 5, 08:46 1
  - I think when the economy tanked so dramatically, McCain was toast regardless but I wonder how a McCain-Hutchison ticket would have fared differently. -- nm - Dano Nov 5, 08:49
- My mom hated Palin, too. And she usually likes pretty people. -- nm - Callisto Nov 5, 08:45 2
  - I didn't "hate" her, but she really comes off fake. It's like she's a grownup "mean girl". - Trish Nov 5, 08:51
  - My mom would've have voted for McCain if not for Palin. -- nm - Dano Nov 5, 08:46

- Palin and the Economy took him out... - Mel Profit Nov 5, 08:47 2
  - The difference is that the economy and Bush were out of his control. -- nm - David Nov 5, 08:48 1
    - oh, i don't deny that he was dealing with factors that were out of his hands. but that doesn't absolve him of still being the primary reason.... - x Nov 5, 08:51
- Palin was the Hail Mary pass that looked like it was caught, but turned out to be a fumble. - Mop Nov 5, 08:46
- ... not to mention, himself. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 5, 08:46
