Rank losing campaigns from Best to Worse Since 1972

Am I the only one who think the Palin pick was savvy? It boosted McCain to draw ahead of Obama in the polls before Lehman Brothers and the financial crash changed the race.

You're probably not the only one, but I for one did not. I was expecting/hoping McCain would pick Tim Pawlenty. IIRC, Sarah Palin became a walking joke almost from the day she was nominated.

Palin was hailed as a perfect pick even by CNN until it was revealed that she had an unwed, pregnant teenage daughter. That was when everything went to $hit.

The party of #metoo had no problems with unabashed slut-shaming just 10 short years ago.
