STRONGLY DISAGREE!!!!!!!!!
Palin helped McCain and without her he would've lost about 54-45 and lost in a couple other conservative states. She helped to get out the GOP base who never liked McCain to begin with. Bush is the one who cost McCain votes.
I actually agree with Derek. Palin turned out her "mama grizzlies" and actually gave McCain a fighting chance in socially conservative states. If McCain had chosen Ridge, Lieberman, Pawlenty, Romney, it could've been an extremely boring ticket and would've lost even more.
