she should be helping hayworth not that waste of time

[toddausauras]

Politically questionable yes, I suppose. But in terms of being a human being, it’s the right thing to do.

[ChildOfThe60s]

Very disturbing. It’s not like that jerk has exhibited any loyalty towards her.

[rabscuttle385]

Because she’s a RINO just like McCain?

Either that or there is a small shred of truth to the liberals’ suggestions that she is of tiny mental stature...just like McCain.

[nomad]

This is a game changer for me.

[rabscuttle385]

I'm sure McCain would still be better than the Dem running against him.

Just one problem.

McCain is a Democrat!

[SmartInsight]

You and others seem to forget that McCain PICKED Palin as his VP candidate and put her on the map. How much name recognition did Palin have before and would have today, if McCain hadn’t picked her as his VP candidate?

Whatever we don’t like about McCain, and the list is long, he does deserve credit for having the courage to pick Palin for his VP candidate.

Given the above, Palin pretty much has no choice, but to campaign for McCain — she has honor and decency.

[Envisioning]

I wish I knew.

There has been a lot of debate on the subject today, but I have not heard a reasonable argument for it yet.

She is loyal. Loyal to who? McCain or us?

She has to work the system? The system isn't working.

I don't pretend to be an expert. Someone educate me....

McCain/Palin ping

[WestwardHo]

Was he thinking of running and now will back out because of Palin’s decision?

Yes he is/was. Time to pack Sarah off to AK where she can’t screw up AZ elections!! I don’t think Hayworth will take them on...this time. I sure don’t mind being wrong.
This infuriates me!!

[cripplecreek]

I don’t know but it isn’t going to help her if she wants to run in the future. Maybe this is her way of saying she won’t run.

I like the woman a lot despite the fact she’ll support the idiot. It certainly wouldn’t be the first time someone I liked endorsed someone that turned my stomach.

[freestyle]

Where is the link to the story? What are the facts?

[TADSLOS]

Battered woman syndrome.

[Illuminatas]

I actually admire the loyalty. It’s called being a decent human being, and I would lose respect for Gov. Palin if she did not support McCain for Senator. For all of Sen McCain’s faults (which are legion at this point), he did bring Gov. Palin to the national fore and I am sure she feels gratitude for the opportunity to be VP on ticket.

For all that, I would not vote for McCain in the primary.

[Randy Larsen]

It really doesn’t matter why does it!

Arizona needs to ignore everything but their own hearts and do what they know is right.

[McGruff]

First things first: as Governor, I love my job and I love Alaska. It hurts to make this choice but I am doing what's best for Alaska. I've explained why... though I think of the saying on my parents' refrigerator that says "Don't explain: your friends don't need it and your enemies won't believe you anyway."

[correctthought]

Why is Governor Palin campaigning for McCain?

Honor

[paul in cape]

Loyalty. She won't through the man who made her a national figure under the bus.

If he called her for a favor to campaign for him, of course she'd say yes. It's the classy thing to do, and she wouldn't think twice.

However, that doesn't mean the crowd has to be enthusiastic for McLame.

[spectre]

One way to look at is that if Sarah didn't help McCain get elected before... what makes us think her endorsement is going to get the desired effect for McCain this election?

The old goat needs to retire.

[Jabba the Nutt]

Palin's first misstep.

I don't like, because McCain never came to her defense, when HIS staffers were out there stabbing her in the back. McCain is a weasel and ought to be defeated. He's not part of the future of the independent conservative agenda and movement.

[Tanniker Smith]

Loyalty.

Case in point: Gore didn't back Lieberman in 2004. Didn't even tell Joe in advance. Looked like a schm**k, too, doing that.

But then again, he's Gore, he always looks like that.
