re: #179 Spare O’Lake
On balance she helped the ticket. She was incredibly popular with the Republican base, and she regularly outdrew McCain at rallies. Hindsight is 20/20 but a lot a people thought she was an excellent choice at the time. By the time folks realized the truth about her it was too late.
That’s exactly why I thought so badly of McCain for choosing her. She helped the ticket. She did not help a potential McCain presidency in the slightest.
