I can see either the check pants, Rockefeller Republicans are out today in full force or the Liberals have taken over. Yeah, blame Palin for being held back by the McCain campaign, then leak stories about her after and how she cost the election. Granted, it was a gamble but one that paid off otherwise McCain would have lost in a huge landslide. I love some of the comments though…”walk across the aisle and work with Democrats” when they’ll be the first to stick the fork in your back. You don’t compromise on your principles and expect to gain something.
You don’t run on compromise, you run on a clear vision which, especially for the economy. McCain didn’t lay out his economic plan that well. Despite his character flaws, he’s just not one to fire up people the way Obama did. Granted, the way Obama did was very “holy” but McCain just didn’t have the fire under his butt, didn’t talk about American exceptionalism and how American will work hard. There were no Reagan like quotes and certainly no holding the feet to the fire.
As for Huckabee, there’s a reason the Republicans didn’t run anyone against Pryor. Huckabee didn’t do the state a favor being governor by increasing taxes. I like the guy personally, but I’m not that in favor of him either. Romney has his own problems as well, supporting abortion then turning against it. I like him too and he probably should have been the nominee but it would have been made into a “flip flop” campaign all over again.
