Obama and McCain don't belong in the same thought as Palin.
McCain was and is now again a great senator. If the nutballs hadn't forced him to go so far right he would have stood a chance.
Obama didn't have the pedigree or the experience, but he was the best choice to run in a weak derriere field. Hillary wasn't ready yet at all.
At the end of the day Hillary will likely score a very close win over Christie in 2016. Neither side has anyone else that could run with any hope of winning at this point.
Maybe Mcain doesnt, Obama definitely does.
Some gimmicky extremist bullshit, under qualified, purely in it because of their looks and personality (also because neither of them were white men)
The only reason he got elected was because people hated Bush, the only reason Palin got the nod was because McCain was extremely moderate and all the people on the right were pissed off (plus they needed someone who wasnt a white male to go on the ticket)
I never liked McCain, still dont. The guy doesnt know dick about money (neither do any of names mentioned above)
Wasnt big on Romney, but at least he was the only candidate to have a financial background. Im actually not sure why people on the left hated him so much, he actually was relatively moderate in regards to the typical far right religious bullshit. (although his comments on "women" made him look pretty effing stupid)
I just hope that whoever the freak gets elected next has an advanced degree in finance/economics with some legitimate business experience. Im tired of this country being run by people who never in a million years could be CEO of a successful company
