So what if she supports McCain? Hayworth hasn’t announced that he is running for office yet. They differed on many issues during the campaign, but, found common ground on others. Sarah Palin was the excitement of the GOP during 2008, and she can’t turn her back on McCain - even if she wanted to. And, I’m sure if she decides to run for President in 2012 - McCain will back her too. You can’t throw everyone under the bus, because none of them is perfect. She’s a staunch conservative and nothing will alter that. John McCain is conservative on some issues.
Now, let’s talk about vetting shall we? Let’s talk about how properly the Zero was vetted during the campaign. What a joke! This isn’t vetting you’re talking about - it’s trashing Sarah in hopes of turning people against her should she decide to campaign for McCain.
However, the possibility of going up against her--in essence McCain would be given the ability to hide behind her skirts while he snipes at Hayworth--could preclude Hayworth's entry to the race, thereby nearly guaranteeing a McCain re-election.
And I'd say it's a fair bet that McCain will revert to his old self after getting re-elected. The way you see his protege Lindsey acting today, including his subservience to Obama on various issues on the agenda, is probably a good depiction of how McCain will resume acting after re-election.

There is a difference between being respectful and being outright supportive.
It is possible to respect someone, friend or foe, without endorsing their values and objectives, which may in fact run contrary to yours.
John McCain is conservative on some issues.
McCain is an opportunist who will pretend to be a conservative so that gullible conservatives (as well as straight ticket Republicans who don't know any better) will vote for him.
His core principles include being "relevant" and being liked.
Let’s talk about how properly the Zero was vetted during the campaign.
You're right that Zero was improperly vetted during the election.
But that is not the topic of the posts on this thread; it is, however, an attempt on your part to draw attention away from the problems regarding McCain and the effective endorsement that he received from Palin.
