I love the Monday morning (or Wednesday, in this case) quarterbacking. I’m disgusted that there are staffers from the McCain campaign who are trying to lay the blame for their loss on Sarah Palin. Listen up, you ran an ineffective campaign from the git-go. Palin came on the scene in August and you think she’s the reason you lost? You were losing well before she came along. You hemmed her in, over coached her, and ignored the very traits that made her the perfect VP pick for the last months of this campaign. She is the one who brought in up to 60K people to rallies. I wasn’t hearing those types of numbers for the Presidential candidate’s rallies. Shut yer traps and go lick your wounds, quietly.

I feel for her. From the moment she was named as the VP pick, her whole life was picked apart. I don’t know why people even think about running for higher office anymore, especially Republicans. They have to know that the media will nitpick over every tiny thing - any slight mistake in your life and you’re doomed. It’s shameful and it’s what I loathe about politics.

As for our President-elect, I’m praying for him. Expectations are high on all sides. I hope he can live up to them.
