I thought it was obvious. She was a woman. They thought that would steal the females voting for Obama. A mistake similar to the DNC’s decision, to run Hillary vs Trump. Both sides thought that providing a female candidate, regardless of qualifications, or popularity, would get the majority of the female vote. A BIG deal. Both sides were wrong.
Palin was ,well maybe more qualified than Trump, but equally stupid, and good at making herself look so.
Hillary wasn’t popular. I can’t speak for others, but I didn’t trust her at all, and felt she didn’t really have an agenda past being POTUS.
I guess I’m saying the GOP forced McCain to run with Palin. Or, perhaps it was just extremely poor judgment on McCain’s part.
I’m actually surprised that there is no popular right wing conspiracy theory about it. If there is, I don’t remember hearing it.
@Yellowdog . It doesn’t surprise me at all, that you voted for Obama. You’re a smart man.
What surprises me, is that you support Trump. He seems like a terrible human, compared to you. Your advice in non-political threads, shows you are compassionate, thoughtful, and intelligent. I will never understand how such good people are supportive of Trump. That’s not meant as an insult brother…
