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.

So let me get this straight, Palin supporters believe that she is a national figure only because she was a VP candidate?

Now, she is a presidential candidate due to the fact that she is a national figure because she was a VP candidate. Got it.

Loyal to a fault.

Paul, I don't buy the loyalty argument.
I don't see where Palin owes Mr. McCain anything. She owes him for saving him from a crushing landslide defeat had she not been chosen?
Palin is her own woman now. After the election, she should have politely thanked McCain (again), announced she was going to forge her own path, and completely severed all ties.

Her campaigning for McCain completely blows a hole in her theme. She has a wonderful, winning message of common-sense conservatism that Republican candidates are now starting to pick up. How does that square with her support for a statist like McCain, and possibly his surrogates Graham, Crist, and Kirk?
