Fred Malek was National Finance Chairman for the McCain/Palin campaign and has served 4 Republican Presidents, including multiple roles in the Reagan Administration.

They should ask Steve Schmidt to get to the bottom of the leak.

Who does this Palin woman think she is? Running for president and everything....what gall! She must think she lives in America or something.

Wherever the Yankees go, A-Rod always gets the loudest boos.

That’s a heck of an endorsement. Happy that he sees from up close what I see from a great distance.

[Obadiah]

I'm with Sarah!

[GBA]

Good to read this. It sounds like Sarah Palin is hard at work and the things she is doing only make her stronger and more formidable. She is one of the few reasons I still have hope for American Republic in an age of obama and an all demonrat Congress.

[Lakeshark]

Glad someone is sticking up for her. She’s still our best candidate and deserves the kind of commentary he is giving.

[eCSMaster]

Thank you Fred Malek.

Why don’t you have a little chat with Fox’s Charles Krauthammer? I have always respected his opinion, but he keeps saying publicly that “Sarah should be boning up on foreign policy and she isn’t doing it.”

Evidently, Mr. K. is wrong about that.

to be branded by jealous rivals with their own agenda ...

Hmmm. Wonder who that might be? Which "brand" do you prefer?

He never once tried to get my take. I also know he never contacted campaign manager Rick Davis, or John McCain.

So, who does that leave...?

Ive met Sarah on several occasions, shes smart, make no mistake.. but she is also down to earth....something a lib will never understand.

For those new to politics some of this is a mystery. In the “old days” during campaigns once the front runner was picked after the primaries then the left started it's counter campaign against the candidate but not as brutal as they are today. Over the years it morphed into the obvious front runner from early primaries to who would be the most likely choice from the moment the candidates announced they were running. The Dems then came up with the idea of why wait for the campaigns. Any Republican who the voters gave slight interest to as a potential President was now marked for pre destruction. The way they treated Condi Rice is a good example.

Palin PING!

Anyone on or off the Palin ping, write me.

[HalfFull]

I LOVE the title of this article!!!!

[Arizona Carolyn]

Maybe Fred needs to have a conversation with Charles Krauthammer, he is clearly unaware that Sarah has indeed been doing her homework... I think Krauthammer unwaivering support for Romney is coloring his view of Palin... which is sad since I like Krauthammer.

jla, spreading the truth

[wardaddy]

Malek is a big cheese and it's nice of him to speak up but who cares if Palin is so frigging up on every foreign policy nuance

that's just a canard-trap

the media gave not a shite what the fearless community organizer knew about diddly, just that he was part negro and could read a teleprompter cleanly and articulately.

Palin can speak well without a teleprompter, she's hot as all get out and true blue patriot and culture warrior but alas she will have to work on the negro part

anyhow...like Loaf says sorta...3 outta 4 ain't bad

[Antoninus]

as well as some in Governor Palin’s own party — a party desperately in need of redefining — who are motivated, for whatever reason, to try and crush their rivals.

We know who they are. They are the minions of a liberal Republican with the initials MR.

[Antoninus]

Major bump. Finally, some honorable people from the McCain team are hitting back at the bottom-feeders.

[SunkenCiv]

That is definitely true in the case of Governor Sarah Palin. I don't think I am going out on a limb here when I speculate that individuals who repeatedly attack her anonymously view her as a threat. And that includes members of the media hell-bent tearing down young Republican up-and-comers as well as some in Governor Palin's own party...
