Well, in the comments section of
this article, I think Trang summed it up best, even with a writing "accent":

Well, Senator McCain, you are stuck between the rock and a hard place. Originally, you displayed a moderate temper, and if you had picked another moderate person, maybe you have a chance. I am still for Obama anyway, but at least, I am not scared if you win because Sarah Palin scare the heck out of me. She may get the base, but she drives moderates away. I don't think you are that extreme, but you don't know how to control them either. They cannot be in power, you understand. They destroy this country for the last 8 years with their crazy ideas. Unfortunately, how you run your campaign has tarnished your reputation.
