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.

I agree with you. Loyalty is a powerful trait in a person. I would think less of her if she didn’t campaign for McCain.

McCain? Pick Palin?

It's well-known that McCain wanted to pick the Rat LIE-berman.

OK, I'll stipulate to that; but what's the excuse for her support of Perry?

McCain picked her so the media and his own staff could pick her apart. She owes him a swift kick in the nads nothing more.

Governor Palin was already the most popular Governor in the country a year after her election. There were already rumors of the GOP recruiting her and running in 2012 when she finished her term.

She actually had more name recognition than you realize.
Conservatives and FReepers were already mentioning her as a VP pick as far back as early 2007.

Ditto to everything you said. She is acting with honor and integrity.
