You're twisting his words. He's not condemning Romney, merely saying they thought Palin would have helped the ticket more.

And of course she did.  Only an idiot or a troll would say otherwise.

A McCain-Romney ticket in 2008 loses by 57-42%, not 53-46%.

Just because McCain "thought" at the time "that he had a better candidate," does not mean in hindsight that he thinks that now. Of course he doesn't. Please!

I'll bet dollars to donuts that McCain today, even if he knew everything that was going to happen to Palin in 2008, would pick her as his running mate again.  And I know he never goes to sleep thinking, "Gee, if only I'd picked Mitt Romney in 2008, I'd be president today!"  -- LOL!

Steve Schmidt was recently quoted as saying that the reason Romney wasn't chosen was because he didn't want another wealthy man on the ticket.

Well McCain has now succeeded in making Palin a wealthy woman. Tongue

Nah, McCain didn't; her enemies did.  If they'd just left her alone, she'd still be governing her little big state that appears only in a box in the corner of most U.S. maps.  But noooooooooooooo, they had to try to DESTROY her utterly.  

Ooooops!!!  They f'ed with the wrong woman -- LOL!

There's no way any VP has that much of a positive impact on the national popular vote, especially someone as divisive as Palin.  I'd believe McCain/Romney also losing 53-46.

Have you ever seen -- strike that.  Have you ever heard -- strike it.  Have you ever in your life even read about a Vice-Presidential candidate whose speeches brought crowds ten-times the size of the Presidential candidate?  Palin was getting the same size crowds as Obama!  Do you seriously -- c'mon, seriously -- think that vice-presidential candidate Romney could have done any of that?

More news the MSM (aside from the 10% of it that is conservative) will never let you see:

Oh, you think that was 2008?  It was just three days ago!  (Unfortunately, the site doesn't include crowd size estimates or overhead photos.  I'll look for a few more.  But, again, is this something you saw anywhere on the corporate-controlled media?)

This is another description, not of the enthusiastic cheers, but of the size of the crowd at the Palin speech:

Oh, this is good:  A few from the radical Palin-hating Left on the same Michigan rally noted above.  The U.S. census found that the 2010 population of Belleville is 3,991:  Belleville is a city in Wayne County in the U.S. state of Michigan. The population was 3,991 at the 2010 census.[3] It is the sister city of Machynlleth, Wales. Belleville is 15 miles (24 km) southeast of Ann Arbor and 29 miles (47 km) southwest of Detroit.

This article says the Palin crowd was "only 400 to 500 idiots" -- but fails to note that is between 1/10th and 1/8th of the entire population of little Belleville.  But in the interests of "looking at the other side", I urge you to read it anyway:

And between 1/4000 and 1/3000 of the population of Wayne County.  You think maybe a few of those folks might have come from other Detroit suburbs to see Palin?

Did you read the article?
