      I still think Obama would have probably won. I didn’t think that poorly of McCain though. Not my politics, but he seemed like a good person.

      Once he picked Palin though…

        No one was going to help McCain, he was a long shot candidate after 8 years of a Republican president that left the country exhausted and fed up, Obama was an answer, McCain was an offer to get more of the same with a little tweak here and there.

        Not mine either but I met him once in a hotel lobby. He was very nice to the group of high schoolers and came off as a decent person but that may have just been him being good at his job.

        I always felt watching that election that he was pushed to the right and out of his comfort zone by the state of his base and even though I didn’t want him to be president I felt a little sorry for him. He would have made a better president than a lot of other Republicans.

        I don’t think we should take that away from her, it’s all she’s got.
