All I can say is this...
Every news group said that all Palin really did was not embarrass herself and her party. That's not what I would call even close to a win.
No trees were killed in transmission of this message. However, some electrons were mildly inconvenienced.
Actually it is. Mostr people thought she didn't know crap and she prooved them wrong for the most part so now it will be harder to attack Mcain's choice based solelyu on her knowledge.

NOT looking like a raving lunatic actually was a small type of win for her.
Editted for accuracy.

In the end though the only real thing she adds to his campaign is bringing out the diehard republicans who don't really like john. He has to stand on his own to get the independants who will win this campaign.

If anything, bringing in Palin should push those independants further towards Obama.

And then, during the debate, she points out (a lot) that she and McDepends are both "mavericks".

No doubt.
Mikey - "Make do with less" always sounds stupid to me when coming from rich people. I wonder why that is?

Which is stupid since they would vote for McCain over a black guy any day.
What does defeat mean to you?
Nothing it will never come. Death before defeat. I don’t bend or break. I end, if I meet a foe capable of it. Victory is in forcing the opponent to back down. I do not. There is no defeat.
