It's amazing how many Freepers do not understand this basic law of politics. According to these people, Palin is supposed to tell McCain "thanks for plucking me out of obscurity and putting me on the national stage. Now I'm going to repay you by supporting your opponent." Few Americans, outside of these reality-challenged Freepers, would look kindly on any pol stabbing a benefactor in the back like that.
>>>>plucking me out of obscurity and putting me on the national stage.
Care to explain how Obozo got plucked out of obscurity to become president?
Personally, it would have hurt my opinion of her had she endorsed Hayworth ... and I say this under the understanding that Hayworth is the better candidate.
Among Palin’s biggest selling points is that she is, or at least appears to be, a genuinely good person. Why would I expect a person that backstabbed her former running-mate to do any less to her constituents?
Her endorsement was the correct one ... and is noncontroversial to most people.
