New Meh.
Yes, the polling said she wasn't going to win IN and she didn't. Congratulations. That doesn't mean that people shouldn't have voted for her.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_presidential_election_in_Indiana,_2008#Polling

Pre-election polling was always tight, although McCain generally had a slight lead in 3 poll averages throughout the entire general election, including the final weeks of the election.


"McCain's ahead, so I guess it's hopeless" is self-fulfilling.

Cheers,
Scott.

New Nice Try.
I wasn't going by polls. Anyone who had been at least half conscious for the past 30 years would have recognized that she did not have a chance in Indiana without having to bother looking at a poll.

I guess we would all be better off if we ignored evidence and just relied on your gut, eh?
