PHOENIX – Was it Sarah Palin’s fault? She doesn’t think so.
She was asked this morning if her selection as John McCain’s running mate might have been a factor in his defeat yesterday.
She responded that nobody should give her that much credit. Instead, she says, voters were swayed by what she called a “woeful” economic situation.
But she adds that if she cost McCain even one vote, she’s sorry — because she believes McCain is the definitive American hero, and that she “had believed that it was his time.”
Just under 40 percent of voters who were surveyed at the polls yesterday said Palin would be qualified to become president if necessary. And about four in 10 independents said Palin’s selection had an important impact on their decision — with a narrow majority of them supporting Obama.

That’s the beauty of being delusional, she lives in her own little made up world.
Only a total nut would think for one second that this loon is qualified to be anywhere near the oval office.

It is amazing that she is really that into herself and cannot see that she was a major factor in this losing effort. She has to look no further than another war hero in General Colin Powell who laid it out and said her pick showed McCain’s lack of judgment.
Now she can drift off into obscurity. Hopefully when she is sitting on her porch looking at Russia, she can update herself on some world places and events. Maybe next time (shudders at thought) she will have a clue.
