Help me VS the MSM - They are already calling Palin a winner in McCain winning the primary.
This is BULLCRAP! The reason McCain won over JD Hayworth is because JD is an IDIOT!

Even my Glenn Beck-loving family member voted against JD because even a Beck viewer knows that JD is an idiot - and that says alot.

Palin had no, nada, zip, nothing to do with McCain winning over JD.

Kick this or something so hopefully we can have an influence on the msm spin.

Bye bye JD!

1. Not to discount Hayworth's idiocy, but McCain's win was due to his incumbent status
not knuckleheads, Palin/Hayworth

2. I have to disagree with you. JD was a congressman for many years.
He lost because even the repugs don't like him.

3. What in *THE* hell does Palin have to do with McCain winning the primary?
He's been a Senator there for years. Long before Caribou Barbie disgraced the national scene. Personally, I never thought for a second McCain would lose. :shrug:

So, I guess if I throw my name behind my local congressman, who has been in office for years, who is a Democrat in one of the most liberal enclaves of Los Angeles, and if his gop opponent, during the primary, received 1/4 of the votes my congressman did, then when my Congressman wins in November, I guess I can claim personal victory and take credit.

Someone, quick, alert the media!

4. McCain's race she had no effect, but she apparently did have some effect in Alaska
but overall her endorsements have been the kiss of death. On the other hand, I don't mind the msm building her up if it means she runs for president in 2012.

6. Not surprised the media will do anything to try to prop her up.

7. He would have won with or without her help
Hayworth lost before, it was kinda realistic to think he'd lose again...especially when those "free money from the Government" ads hit...

8. The media should focus on how she pissed off the baggers when she went for McCain
A quick stroll to Free Republic(Palin's natural base) shows that they aren't celebrating McCain's win by any stretch of the imagination.

9. IIRC, one candidate of the 8 or 9 she actively endorsed actually won...
Edited on Wed Aug-25-10 01:09 PM by old mark
McCain may be a total shit, but he is not stupid enough to seek Palin's support, nor did he need it...I seem to recall him running away from her as fast as he could after their ship sank in '08...

She would still be in Alaska and possibly under investigation were it not for McCain...Thanks a lot, Panama Jack...

10. McCain was not the Tea Party candidate. Once again Palin supported the one she thought would win
she is inconsistent in her endorsements. She is an idiot. But you knew that already.

11. That's a really desperate reach
This doesn't count anywhere close as being a win for Palin.

12. Yet it is being repeated on msnbc all morning.
I'm sitting here working from home on my computer with the tv on in the background and they keep saying it.
