If you don’t know why she is “selling out” to McCain, you don’t understand the distasteful term of “throwing [a supporter] under the bus.”
Palin has a record, so far blemish free, of doing the honorable thing. To refuse to go speak for McCain, after he had facilitated her present national presence, would have been despicably dishonorable.
It is better to do the “right” thing than to do the “best” thing. If you hand a checkout clerk a $10 bill and he gives you change for a $100 bill, it is in your “best” financial interest to leave quick before he realizes his mistake. But it is “right” for your honor, your self respect, and for the long term viability of your relationship with the business to immediately return the extra money.
Now, quickly: What would Sarah Palin do? To duck her obligation to McCain would be to “take the money and run.”
