I was so upset to see McCain and Palin lose. That was the first US election I have ever watched so closely.
I had much respect for McCain they way he handled himself and stood his ground. What made me follow him even more was the way the media savaged him and went after him..
I only wish that John McCain would have run the type of campaign that JTF recommended. Basically, the antithesis of political correctness. That type of campaign would have ensured a victory for John McCain, with the United States having the best Vice President in eons, in Sarah Palin.
In my opinion, McCain was too passive. Plus his message varied too much. If Sarah Palin would have been running the campaign instead of John McCain, I'm convinced that at the very least the McCain/Palin ticket would have won a few more states. Very possibly the election itself.
