It's not changing my position that she's one of our best, if not the best, spokesmen for conservatives. There's no one close that I can see.
I’ve been a major supporter of hers here over the past year. I’d like her to dig down to more substantive policy answers in her media appearances and I wince when she puts her kids out on tabloid covers, because I’ve been majorly behind her as right in principle and good on the issues. I also see her as a better alternative than Romney, who I can’t believe could topple Obama and whom I don’t respect from my experience backing him in MA.
But this McCain stuff and now backing him on immigration two years after their campaign has me stepping back to look more closely at whether she talks the good rebel game to tea partiers and the base—but is really another McCain/Graham Republican underneath it all.
