Dirt popping up after the election shows senior McCain aides complaining that Palin spent a
lot more than $150,000 of campaign money on expensive new clothes.
lol.
And it turns out McCain wasn't lying about the polls - he really thought he was even with Obama because his pollsters decided (before the last debate) if he knew the real story he'd give up hope.
And Obama took objection every time his advisers told him not to choose Hillary. He probably wouldn't of chosen her anyway, but because of Bill, not her - he didn't want to be tied to the Clinton administration. And after Hillary lost she rang up McCain to bitch about Obama. Apparently they often did shots together as senators.
And McCain was still deciding whether or not to attack Obama through Ayres, but Palin screwed it up and started attacking Ayres anyway.
And Obama was bitching about the town hall debate style because he thought it was shallow:
"I don't consider this to be a good format for me, which makes me more cautious. I often find myself trapped by the questions and thinking to myself, 'You know, this is a stupid question, but let me … answer it.' So when Brian Williams is asking me about what's a personal thing that you've done that's green, and I say, you know, 'Well, I planted a bunch of trees.' And he says, 'I'm talking about personal.' What I'm thinking in my head is, 'Well, the truth is, Brian, we can't solve global warming because I fucking changed light bulbs in my house. It's because of something collective'."
And Michelle Obama was scared shitless they would be assassinated, because the Secret Service warned them that the number of death threats rose exponentially over September and October.
