In an interview with the Anchorage Daily News, Palin faulted the
policies of the Bush administration for the defeat of the GOP ticket,
and said, "it's amazing that we did as well as we did."

"I think the Republican ticket represented too much of the status quo,
too much of what had gone on in these last eight years, that Americans
were kind of shaking their heads like going, wait a minute, how did we
run up a $10 trillion debt in a Republican administration? How have
there been blunders with war strategy under a Republican administration?
If we're talking change, we want to get far away from what it was that
the present administration represented and that is to a great degree
what the Republican Party at the time had been representing," Palin said
in a story published Sunday.

Wow!

Yeah, because the loss certainly had nothing to do with the GOP picking
a tired old fart who couldn't decide what side of the ultra
conservative/conservative fence he was on, along with an ignorant,
loud-mouthed moron as a running mate. Sure, the horrors of the Bush
Administration played a role in their defeat, but so did the choice of
nominees.

The Republicans doubled down in 2012 and picked a worse pair, and likely
will double down again in 2016.
