CNN) -- With 10 days until Election Day, long-brewing tensions between GOP vice presidential candidate Gov. Sarah Palin and key aides to Sen. John McCain have become so intense, they are spilling out in public, sources say. Several McCain advisers have suggested to CNN that they have become increasingly frustrated with what one aide described as Palin "going rogue."
A Palin associate, however, said the candidate is simply trying to "bust free" of what she believes was a damaging and mismanaged roll-out.
McCain sources say Palin has gone off-message several times, and they privately wonder whether the incidents were deliberate. They cited an instance in which she labeled robocalls -- recorded messages often used to attack a candidate's opponent -- "irritating" even as the campaign defended their use. Also, they pointed to her telling reporters she disagreed with the campaign's decision to pull out of Michigan.
A second McCain source says she appears to be looking out for herself more than the McCain campaign.

Good. Tell the girly boys to take a hike Sarah, and say what needs to be said.
I hope so.
McCain Sources, when did they hire this guy?
Are they certain they have the right name? Did they mean Biden?
If any of McCain's staff doesn't like Palin, it's because Palin is the only one in the organization with any guts.
This was debunked by Palin’s aides earlier.
This was started last week with Chuck Todd saying Palin and McCain’s ‘body language’ was tense around each other.
Now this is the new Obama talking points faxed out and the media is reporting it like the sheep they are.
“conflict on the campaign trail”
If going rogue means not putting up with the politcally tone deaf Bushies trying to shackle her, I’d say our Vogue Rogue is just the ticket!
good I hope its true, someone needs to be campaigning to win, it sure isnt Mclame...
Who is the disgrace of person supposedly airing dirty laundry to the MSM like this?:
“She is a diva. She takes no advice from anyone,” said this McCain adviser. “She does not have any relationships of trust with any of us, her family or anyone else.”
Baloney. She wants to WIN.
On the other hand...
Isn’t the woman supposed to be silent, barefoot and pregnant? (s)
Stuff it, CNN! Sarah’s the only bright spot in this election.
Another bald-faced lie... but it IS cnn...
CNN fabricates a story about a split between McCain and Palin. They’ve run out of angles to cover, so now they are making them up out of whole cloth in a divide-and-conquer strategy. I thought journalists weren’t supposed to inject themselves into a story.
As Rush once said, every Republican is a Maverick now. How do you like it? You want to win? You had best do more to convince Conservatives you are on their side.
McCain staffers sucking up to CNN. Highly unlikely, but if so, McCain should fire them immediately. Palin is the only thing keeping McCain in the race. But then, maybe it’s just CNN sowing disinformation to upset McCain/Palin. I wouldn’t put it past them.
Why the hell would a McCain advisor leak info like this to CNN?? Either is all BS or that advisor is a complete moron.
