No, my contention is that she unintentionally sabotaged the campaign by being her mentally imbalanced self. I don't recall how many times the McCain campaign had to release statements disavowing statements she made as unofficial. It didn't help matters much that she was eerily silent at rallies while people shouted Obama was a hahahahahaha. Then there was all that ranting about Obama being a socialist when she helped give out rebate checks to Alaskans to compensate for high gas prices, the funds of which came from her helping to impose higher taxes on oil companies in the state.
And it is my contention that McCain's advisors sabotaged his campaign by giving him nothing to work with other than negative attacks. Other than the prospect of a healthcare voucher, it was nothing but a warparth of stale sound bytes.
The fact the Romney and Ryan ran a far superior campaign and still lost to Obama who had less votes than in the first election pretty much is a testament as to how imbecilic and ineffective Palin and McCain were as both individuals and a team.
Let us all be thankful that trainwreck was derailed before it reached the station.
Not that it hasn't stopped Palin from influencing politics by backing up all these Tea Party crazies as retribution against the GOP for dumping her after the embarrassing loss. She's been intent up dividing and conquering the Republicans ever since.
Now, she is intentionally sabotaging them.
