McCain's Biggest Mistake
http://crooksandliars.com/silentpatriot/sarah-palin-mccains-biggest-mistake-


GIZZI: What was the biggest mistake made in the ’08 campaign?

PALIN: The biggest mistake made was that I could have called more shots on this: the opportunities that were not seized to speak to more Americans via media. I was not allowed to do very many interviews, and the interviews that I did were not necessarily those I would have chosen. But I was so thankful to have the opportunity to run with John McCain that I was not going to argue with the strategy decisions that some of his people were making regarding the media contacts.

But if I would have been in charge, I would have wanted to speak to more reporters because that’s how you get your message out to the electorate.

6. Yeah...she had a taste of the spotlight

and she can't go back. If Ted Stevens had won, I do think she would've tried to get the Senate seat. She would've loved a more national position. Palin will absolutely run in 2012 and she'll enjoy every second of the campaign.

4. McCain's Biggest Mistake: not acting like McCain.
He let his handlers "handle" him - instead of speaking his mind.






Oh yeah, being a Republican & picking Palin as VP didn't help.

5. Absolutely no perception of Others. No perception how much has been done FOR her by a monstrous
political machine. She thinks she's "ALL that" and the truth is that she is completely manufactured by the very powers that she claims to fight. The woman is DUMB beyond belief!
