Knives come out for Sarah Palin; McCain aides tell tales of an ill-informed diva

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.

Well..... If approval ratings mattered that much, why did the Dems win gains in Congress? Remember, Congress has a lower approval rating than even President Bush.

Actually, I didn't realize that they were lower. Maybe the ratings don't matter that much, but it seemed to me that many many people were wanting change, and they saw McCain as the same. Probably the same reason that Congress because so democratic a few years ago.
