An Error, Sarah
For John McCain’s loss, you can blame her.
As a leader of the radical right, you can name her.

And if you are the New York Times, apparently you can’t defame her.

It’s Official: JD Vance Is Less Popular Than Sarah Palin
-9.3
Ohio Sen. JD Vance is now the most unpopular vice presidential nominee in modern history—soaring past former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin’s unfavorability ratings during the 2008 campaign. According to FiveThirtyEight’s polling tracker, Vance had a -3 point net favorability/unfavorability rating among the public at large in July when he was selected as former President Donald Trump’s running mate. His net favorability has deteriorated significantly since then, now sitting at -9.3 points. Gov. Palin, who ran alongside 2008 Republican nominee John McCain, only reached a net favorability rating of -2 points during the campaign, according to ABC News, FiveThirtyEight’s parent company.

Then, about a half hour in, the wheels came off.”

The full transcript is here. Read it and weep for our country.
