Wow, that is all I have to say.
I agree David. Wow! What a bunch of bull!! those are misleading facts. actually, if they are based off polls they are not even facts. It assumes things like Obama would not have one had the others originally on the ballot still ran. That's a long leap of logic. Also, Sarah Palin DID say she could see Russia. Her SNL look-a-like only repeated that in making fun of the dingy, pop culture appeal running mate.
Aaron, did you mean "would not have WON"? "One" is a number. "Won" means to achieve victory. (Just to clarify)
Also, you are wrong about Sarah Palin. The actual quotes with documentation are below. The SNL sketch was funny, but was by no means a direct quote.
PALIN: They're our next door neighbors and you can actually see Russia from land here in Alaska, from an island in Alaska.

FEY AS PALIN: "And I can see Russia from my house."
