McCain's campaign staff made plenty of deceptive statements (and leaks) about her. I think the shoe's on the other foot.

In fact, I think they wrote off McCain's chances a month before the election, and concentrated on trying to make sure that she wouldn't be a future, national force in the GOP. Looks like she's winning the battle against these jerks.

I think they wanted her to be the scapegoat. Don’t think they had a clue about her ability to take a hit and keep going.
