Probably why McLettuce chose Palin in the first place, to sniff/flush out the Proto-Tea Party structure, so as to to eliminate it before it got off the ground.

Backfired on the @$$hole, did it not? Burn in Hell, McCain.

He should’ve stayed in the Hanoi Hilton. Yes, I’m angry. Damned straight. He’s a disgrace to this country and our military.

There was no Tea Party when she was chosen.

Right on the money. I've always suspected that McCain
took a look at what Palin had accomplished in Alaska, and
decided to offer her a “promotion”.
The promotion was a ploy to neutralize her before she
managed to take out any more of Mc Cain's probable behind the scenes cronies. He set her up , let the MSM attack relentessly, censored any criticisms she had of Obama.
I've always wondered if McCain dealt with Ted Stevens behind the scenes. Offering Palin the Vice Presidential
slot might have been his way of paying her back for taking one of his cronies out of the mix.

Are you nuts? Tea Party happened after Obama was elected. Geesh

[sauropod]

Precisely.
