"a similar poll on Palin taken before the two-month intensive media destruction campaign on her"- you mean before she went on TV and made a complete fool of herself?
Come on TB, my statement and numbers stand, you are just making a fool of yourself...
Palin got McCain nothing except excited the hardcore conservatives... and she likely lost him MUCH in the way of independents and swing voters...
I don't think that Palin lost the election for him- I think he would have still lost, but it would have been closer...
