On that basis Wayne Allen Root was clearly a drag on the Bob Barr Libertarian

ace....I dont know where you are "looking deeper" to find those people who would not have voted for McCain anyway.
She shored up the base and drove away the Independents....which IMO is a microcosm of the Republican party at the moment. they cant figure out how to appeal to both and you cant win w/o both.
Beyond that, many of those who dont like her or dont think she is presidential material are DC party insiders and again, there's the problem.
"Real Americans" (ie mostly the social conservatives) love her...the party establishment doesnt.
