LOL! That just about sums it up! The packaging was so good, they're afraid to look at the product too closely!

The main reason he was the nominee is Open Primaries. He was the last man standing thanks to Open Primaries. He's not the Republican that the Republicans chose, he's the Republican that the Independents and Democrates chose in Open Primary States. The Republican that the Republicans would have selected if primaries were closed would have been Huckabee or Romney, but not McCain. McCain was not the candidate that Republicans selected, he's the candidate that non-Republicans selected. I did not vote for McCain in my state's primaries. Most Republicans did not vote for McCain in their primaries. Most of the voters in the early primaries that went for McCain were cross-party voters in Open Primaries. That's a fact. He got most of the votes in Open Primary states. He got most of his votes there too. His campaign was not doing well even before he picked Palin. Then after he picked Palin, he locked her away from the very people she would attract to the ticket. She did not repel anybody, she only failed to attract the voters that McCain needed -- but she failed because the McCain Campaign locked her in a closet. Her interview with Couric went poorly, that's true. But if she had interviewed with an anchor/commentator that actually liked the McCain Campaign, it is clear that she would have fared better than she did with Couric. I'm confused that you would ask such a stupid question. After all, you read the book.

If a commentator liked the McCain campaign, how would the interview have been different? Seems to me Couric asked reasonable questions. Shouldn't all candidates have to field the same questions during interviews, just as they do during moderated debates?
