“I don’t recall whether it was Fox News or MSNBC that reported this, but apparently exit polls have been showing that Sarah Palin was a non-factor for Obama voters. That seems to confirm what I’ve suspected all along, that Palin’s presence didn’t torpedo McCain – the bad economy torpedoed them both.”
This is correct. all the Palin-venom came from leftists who ALREADY HATE ALL REPUBLICANS and Palin, as a moose-hunting prolife hockey Mom and Governor who wants to drill, just set off all the “hate-rightie” neurons in the left. So she didnt lose votes. Meanwhile the conservative base was relieved that ‘maverick’ actually picked a conservative and not another RINO (or Joe L). But her populism, accent, lack of inside-the-beltway cred ticked off the establishment media and the rest was history once the liberal MSM got their digs in.
