180 degrees off the mark...congrats to the WaPo. 

either they are terrible reporters or actively crafting the news to fit their desired outcome - either way a shame on the WaPo.

The media is arguing that Obama won because McCain made a bad choice for veep.

As they argue the point again and again, it becomes apparent they are deeply afraid the country will turn on Obama because McCain didn't really test him and he was a weak candidate.

Of course, they helped because they did not test him either.

Hmmm, think there will be buyer's remorse in the future? I hope so.

''A number of factors seem to have contributed to the bumpy homecoming: a residual anger among Democrats for the attack-dog role Palin assumed in the McCain campaign, lingering resentment from Republicans for the part she may have played in McCain's defeat, and a suspicion crossing party lines that the concerns of Alaska, at a time of economic crisis, will now be secondary to her future in national politics.''

The MSM is surely in the Bizarro world if any of them truly believe this load of crap.  Most Conservatives were holding their noses to vote for McCain until Gov. Palin was selected as VP.  Sarah is the reason I voted Republican.

Remember, expect negative Palin news items twice every day until she's elected in 2012.

This from the alternate universe that embraces "so called" terrorists? (h/t Helen Thomas).

Whatever these people call themselves - writers, journalists, whatever - it must be one of the few jobs where checking your brain at the door is a prerequisite.

This is predictably disgusting but disgusting nonetheless.

It was McCain who lost the election with his strategy that he forced Palin to adhere to. When Palin was herself and strayed from the McCain plan, she did very well and the GOP ticket gained points in the national polls.

The only group of people who didn't like Palin and still don't are the liberal left-wing activists. Or put another way, 90% of the WaPo's staff. Mainly because she almost stole the election from the Acorn machine.

Hey, I got the wrong "CHANGE"!

Alan Keyes / Sarah Palin - 2012

The media are the reason that McCain lost!  They slurped Obama and covered his inadequacies for months.  Ignoring his inexperience and dubious associates.  Now, they project on to Sarah Palin their own culpability.  The fact that they continue to attack her shows they don't really believe shes the foolish bumpkin they want her to be.

I believe the "liberals" are truly afraid of this woman. And after Barry's big government approach fails, a homespun, "average" gal may be the ticket to victory for the Republicans. Sarah is the real deal. Obama and his Chicago thugs are not.

NEVETR,NEVER trust a "liberal"

I don't resent Palin. I resent all of those ignorant and stupid voters that decided John McCain was the best choice for the Republican Party.

Time for a Poll on this... I think more people liked Sarah Palin than John McCain

a suspicion crossing party lines that the concerns of Alaska, at a time of economic crisis, will now be secondary to her future in national politics.

So now no sitting politician is allowed to run for any national office?  Did the NY voters who Hillary told that she only wanted to be their Senator feel cheated that she not only ran for Pres but then bailed as their Senator when she lost?  Do the Delaware people feel that Biden shoudn't have run for Pres nor taken the job as VP?  Sounds like both sides of the aisle in Alaska are freaking crybabies.

Sarah Palin represents a grass roots awakening of conservatives in America. That is a scary thing to these flaming liberal socialists.

If enough voters at the local and state level wake up, we have a prayer. If not, We are going to go down in flames.

They will try to destroy her for 4 more years because they know how effective and how popular she truly is.  And they are terrified...

Hmmm, so let me see if I understand this: The election is over, McCain lost, Obama won, but the Drive-bys are still focusing on Palin?

This smells of abject fear on the part of the left...they are scared crapless that Palin's going to run in 2012. I guess her new pac is really terrifying them...too funny!

McCain Faces 'Lingering Resentment' From GOP for Role in McCain's Loss

WaPo must be really scared of a possible Palin presidency.  Now there's a president I can be proud of!

...scumbags. I want revenge. I want justice. I will do anything for President Palin.

2010: A GOP Hill

The WaPo's insight on just about anything is very poorly aimed, about like giving a .44 magnum pistol to Dr. Strangelove and asking him to shoot a fly off of Nancy Pelosi's skinny ass.  "Uh... uh... Mein Fuhrer!!!!!  I can walk!!!!!"

 Save the Republic: Palin for President.

--A number of factors seem to have contributed to the bumpy homecoming:--

Which leads me to wonder if this "bumpy homecoming" is fact, or journalistic fiction buttressed by rumor and statement of far northern libs (because maybe even the tundra isn't free of them).

--a residual anger among Democrats for the attack-dog role Palin assumed in the McCain campaign--

Oh, dear, the Dems are angry, how could she make them to that to her?

--lingering resentment from Republicans for the part she may have played in McCain's defeat--

Perhaps the biggest howler of them all. Palin was the one thing that gave the McCain campaign any life at all.

--and a suspicion crossing party lines that the concerns of Alaska, at a time of economic crisis, will now be secondary to her future in national politics.--

You mean, they're afraid she'll act like H. Clinton and Obama?

For some reason, I doubt that. I doubt she'll simply vote "present" in things concerning her state and her responsibilities, even if she also keeps in the national light.

Chesterton, Orthodoxy 

... the only reason I voted for McCain. He would have been trounced if not for her.

Normally I don't root for the disease. But in your case I am willing to make and exception.

I wasn't going to vote for "President" until Sarah Palin was named VP running mate. Everyone in my family and friends felt the same way. Sure, she isn't perfect but look at the Perfect one now?

To be perfectly honest, I'm glad McCain lost because if we are going to have leftist policies, I'd rather have the Dems take credit for destroying America. 

drives the liberals bat-sh*#!  This election was by no means a blowout.  Yes, it was a electoral vote landslide but, the popular vote was very close.  A lot of moderate Dems crossed over to vote for Palin.  The PUMA's, remember?

That being said, I don't like how the electoral votes are divvied out.  I'm from CA and 55 votes goes to the Dems every 4 years.  I think it should be based on percentages.  Meaning, if McCain loses CA 60-40, he should get 40% of the electoral votes.  It doesn't seem fair that if a candidate loses a state by 51-49, he loses all the EV's.

 wotsizname  ......comes from synthetic people who are buffaloed by a normal American human like the 300 million who live outside of their bubble.  In Alaska, I live about 20 miles from the Palins, read the local rag every day, and haven't heard anything negative except from the two local groups; resentful Democrats and fellow Republicans who are all still sore because Alaska voted in a landslide election for Sarah.  She is accepted by the vast majority of Alaskans, and will succeed and prevail.  Get over it. 

Palin presents an ENORMOUS threat to liberalism for many reasons.

-She is a woman; like black or hispanic conservatives, she represents a threat to the integrity of the liberal plantation where federally-defined minorities are politically incarcerated.

-She comes from outside of the liberal Eastern Ivy-League elite intelligentsia that feels that only they are entitled to rule. They deride the colleges that she attended, and anywhere she lived and anything she's done.

-She is young, she represents a twenty-year threat to the democratics. Forget McCain, the old media can go back to kissing his butt because he is done. Palin is the new threat.

-She can get the same crowds that Obammy can. Remember the consternation in the old media at the Palin gatherings; they low-balled her crowd numbers, and blew up Obammy's to ridiculous levels (still are). Palin's crowds terrified the liberals, because they completely destroyed their carefully managed image of the Republican Party as a party of old rich white guys. 

They will never hold their fire on Palin. This assault will go on for years.

I voted for Palin who was unfortunately tied to the anchor Mcstain on the ballot. I never met a republican Presidential candidate who when faced with a totally unqualified democrap candidate like Obama, would opine as McCain did, that Obama was more than qualified and that he was a friend (same qualifications given for Reid and Peelousy by McCain). So for six months McCain is telling everyone how qualified Obama is, then his VP is telling everyone how unqualified Obama is. Talk about diluting one's message.

Now the media is in full attack mode against Gov Palin again. They saw democrap after democrap with tax problems and they must MUST find a repub to make this bipartisan affair, so they're trying to go after Gov Palin for her per diem payments, but they completely ignore Rahmbo's free rent in the home of a lobbyist and Obama's ethical and possible tax violations in receiving speaking fees while in the Illinois State Senate.

"Chink in Sarah Palin's armor"

Of course it's several lines down that the AP reports Alaska has $6.6 billion in reserve.

I got yer chink, San Francisco.

That the Post is called by myself AFAIK The Washington COMPOST?

BECAUSE IT'S WRITER'S HAVE HORSE-S$$$ FOR BRAINS!

Want the PLAIN truth and no spin?  Listen to The Plains Radio Network online.  It's like nothing you've ever heard.

The only "Lingering Resentment" is in the MSM because Sarah Palin showed these feminists for the hypocrits they really are. There is no doubt that Sarah Palin did more good than harm, for the Republican ticket.  There was no way she alone could have pulled this off, but it was a valiant attempt on her part.

I  hope she runs for the Senate in 2 years and starts raising hell in D.C.

Election 2008-God's way of showing us that elections count.  

>>>The claim that Sarah Palin hurt McCain's candidacy has been refuted by
various sources including, coincidentally enough, The Washington Post.

Yes, I agree!  Sarah Palin played an ENORMOUS role in John Mccain's defeat . . .

She caused it to be not NEARLY as horrendous or embarassing as it would have otherwise been.

And now a word for all of those who honestly though that John McCain's candidacy was a good thing:  SCREW YOU!

Without Palin, McCain would have been the Republican Walter Mondale.

The only problem I have is John McCain was too heavy for to drag into the winners circle.
