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.
I see the fluctuation in the polls primarily due to many republicans who wavered back and forth and remained undecided almost until the end. Everyone wanted "change" but many weren't, and still aren't, sure what kind of change Obama would bring. Obama's inflammatory pastor and associations with other questionable people no doubt caused some bumps in McCain's favor, but it was not to last because of his connection to Bush. In the end it was Bush who brought him down.

Yes, Sarah Palin was a problem for me and I feel he delivered the final death blow to his campaign in selecting her but, in all honesty, I think he still would have lost no matter who was in the VP slot.

I agree totally with your last comment. I have voted for both Democrats and Republicans in the past. I am by no means a "party person." (I guess Richard will have some fun with that last comment. )
