Republicans didn't go out to vote in full strength, and media conservatives continued to attack and disclaim McCain, because they didn't like him, and the latter phenomena had effect on the former. He wasn't a Bush JR. Unlike McCain, Palin was picked because she was ultra-conservative, charming, cute (to me she's hot)and had charisma. But she was also targeted by righters; several people in my own Church (mostly Republicans) didn't like her, one of them (at least) because she was (get this!) PENTECOSTAL! That would no doubt be echoed in other Churches (Southern Bapist, and the like) nationwide.
That has got to be the stupidist reason not to vote. I have often said that in voting one picks the "lessor of 2 evils." No candidate agrees with me on everything. My vote is for the person who agrees more. As for the religious beliefs of a candidate, who cares as long as they keep their beliefs in the church. Idon't care if a candidate is Penticostal, Mormon, Catholic, Presbyterian, Baptist, Jewish, Muslim, Hindu, deist, agnostic, atheist or anything else as long as he uses the good judgement toward an idea and not be pro or con solely on religious beliefs.
