Gosh, my hair began to hurt after reading all this about Palin. Let's just hope that she goes back to her routines and her life goes along oh so smoothly. Ugh.

What a sore loser! According to Ms. Palin McCain/Palin lost because:

1. The media (doesn't that one ever get tired???)
2. They were outspent
3. George Bush.

What a pity she doesn't have McCain's sense of dignity. And how insulting to the voters of this country. Apparently to Ms. Palin we are too stupid to understand the issues and easily persuaded by $$$.

And what an incredible lack of insight if she really doesn't believe that what she and McCain offered was less appealing to the voters! It was the fault of everyone but those who were actually on the ticket.

Don't go away mad Ms. Palin, just PLEASE, go away!

aw gee shucks, ES - you got to admit it is sort of mesmerizing - kind of like a train wreck.

Besides, as long as she is the "new" republican, the dems don't have to worry for a long, long, long time.

Its so funny that now that the election is over she's finally willing to talk to people - she is doing everything it takes to remain on the front page.

btw - wasn't it a certain republican candidate who last spring chided Obama for being nothing more than a celebrity like Britney or Paris! Now look what he has unleashed.

UPDATE - now it sounds like the "Africa is a country" was indeed made up - what's so scary is that we all found it so plausable coming from "I can see Russia from my front yard".

I can't believe she isn't gone from public view by now. The woman won't
shut up. She is giving interviews to all the news people who ask. If she thinks
she can undo a terrible first impression, it won't work.

I can't tell you the last time I read this thread but something made me read the last page today just to catch up.

He is 100% why the republicans lost. There isn't a republican on the planet who could have pulled off the election no matter what kind of ideas he had.

Totally agree with you on this Pam! I said last year that it didn't matter who would be the Rep or the Dem running, the Dem would win hands down because of Bush's approval rating. A vote for the Dem would be a vote against Bush.

Then how does that explain the race was neck and neck for a while? That McCain, after getting the convention bump, was ahead in the race?

100% is a bit of hyperbole. Especially when I have seen you say that Ms. Palin was a problem for you in voting for McCain!

There are people who make a decision based on what the candidate offers, not what party he belongs to.
