Biggest Turkey of 08?

Is it Elliot Spitzer and his sex for hire scandal? Or is it Jeremiah Wright and his racist remarks? Could it be Ted Stevens and his corruption conviction? Or his fellow Alaskan Sarah Palin? I think without a doubt the biggest political turkey of 08 has been John McCain. He could have won the election had he stuck to his own game plan: being the mavericky maverick that he is known to be. Instead he gave in to the republican Party and Karl Rove politics, causing him to "choose" (and I put this in quotes because I highly doubt he handpicked her)Sarah Palin, possibly a the number two political turkey of '08. Had he followed his heart and picked a proper vice presidential candidate and run the campaign that he wished to run, he wold have had a fighting chance if not out right taking the election. He catered to the evangelicals and ran on a more of the same campaign but at the same time tried to make it seem like it was different. It was the same shit from 2000 and 2004 but with a different smell. McCain, for failing to stand up to your beliefs and losing an election cause of it , you are indeed the number 1 political turkey of '08. Happy Thanksgiving Johnny.
