You cannot get elected President without the active support of influential and senior party members. They are the key to financing a presidential campaign. Supporting McCain now is a demonstration of loyalty. Palin will not be able to ask the party for loyalty when she needs it to get elected unless they believe she will reciprocate for them. Remember when Bush supported Arlen Specter over Toomey?
Party support????? What about Scott Brown. He won on his smarts. Half the time I think the party (Rep) is the problem.
Remember the thanks? Specter jumped parties. Bush involvement in elections backing RINO's RUINED many Conservatives chances and Re-Elected RINO's.... UNDERSTAND NOW? Palin is making a huge mistake.
