Republicans only have themselves to blame. Had McCain not chosen Palin there is a good chance he could have won.
It will be interesting to see who they put up next.

I thought the same thing last election.. I assumed the GOP was only able to come up with a McCain/Palin duo because they pretty much accepted the fact that there was no way in hell that the Republicans would win after what Bush did to this country, so they ran throw away candidates.
I assumed this was why they didn't put forward a solid candidate that might be sensible rather than the Senile old man & the dumb blond that wasn't a blond.
I assumed that they were waiting to put a real contender on a ballot this year, but once again they have not. After looking back and seeing who the GOP has managed to get elected in the last 20+ years, it makes me think they really have no sensible or smart choices.
What you see is the best they have to offer, simply because the GOP has failed to change with the times and still tries to hold on to the old rich white guy mentality of "they" are better than everyone else because they were born in a higher social standing than others while pretending they worked for it.
