Considering the rat source for this article its veracity is very much in question. Having said that, this is a sad day after Sarah has withdrawn from the field, for this cycle. This country will be hard pressed find another leader of her caliber. Someone who embodies the American character in every particular the way she does. My fear is that by losing her we maybe letting the last vestiges of this great Nation slip away never to return.
Roger your last! (cool Pix)
Nicolle Wallace has to be the most ignorant slut in RINO party history.
Geez, the lowlife are coming out of the wall.
This is kind of amusing nonsense. It sounds like Nicolle Wallace was very jealous of Sarah Palin. If anything, it would make more sense to speculate that McCain would yield the job to his sane VP, Sarah Palin.
John McCain did a great job for his country; but he should have resigned years ago; he is a broken man with a disordered mind, IMO.
In fairness, she says only that there were “discussions” without saying among whom.
She doesn’t say that John McCain was a part of these discussions. I’d bet the “discussions” about not swearing in Palin were between Nicole Wallace and her intern.
McCain’s poor judgment was in hiring someone like Nicole Wallace.
It seems to me that VP is a constitutional office, and the VP doesn’t report to the President. The VP may have no real job while the P lives, but the VP reports to the voters...period.
Does she have ANY idea how bad this makes McCain look?
McCain for his own good, should kill this immediately.
I wouldn't help that woman cross a street let alone buy anything from her.
This sounds like someone who is trying to cause trouble. I take this with a huge dose of skepticism.
I didn’t read this because it appeared to be a steaming pile of Obama.
* What Sarah Palin is like on the trail: "She works harder than anyone Ive known in politics. Shell go until one or two in the morning and shes up again at the crack of dawn."
* The $150,000 clothing allowance: "The campaign made no effort to hide it from anyone. It was on our disclosures."
* The role of sexism in campaign coverage: "A lot of newsrooms have thought very carefully about how they cover race. I dont think the same conversations have gone on regarding women."
* Why she doesnt want to be a distraction: "I think politics is like an X-ray machine: Everything is found out eventually."
* And how she feels at the end of the day about the opposition: "Campaigns bring out the warriors in everybody."
Beast: So few people have actually spent time with Sarah Palin. And you have, and you're one of the few people who talk to the media that has. Did you have an impression of her that's grown and changed over the few months you've known her? What has it been like getting to know her?
I think she has had an entrance into national politics unlike anybody else. Unlike Bill Clinton, who came from a small Southern state, he was the actual nominee so he was before different state press corps and he was before the political press corps. With Bush, the same thing. He was governor and came up as his own candidate. He obviously had a pretty big press corps in Texas and was in the Bush family.
I worked for Jeb Bush. Sarah Palin reminds me a lot of Jeb Bush, who was very hands on. He was always in direct contact, email-wise, with reporters. He'd often get back to them before I'd get back to them. She's like that. She's very hands on. Reminds me of my time working for Jeb Bush. She doesn't like a lot of bureaucracy. She gets on her email and deals directly with press and the staff and it's very, very impressive. Very appealing.
What do you think people can get to know about her that they havent had time to learn yet that will come out with more exposure to her?
Shes just very, very engaging and shes very normal and down to earth and very quick and smart, and shes the real deal.
Is she really fun to hang out with? If you sit next to her at a pot luck dinner, would you enjoy hanging out with her?
I spent time with her around her announcement and her convention speech and it was such an intense time. I only traveled with her one week, the one week we traveled to Wasilla. So I havent seen a lot of her relaxed moments. She works harder than anyone Ive known in politics. Shell go until one or two in the morning and shes up again at the crack of dawn. Shes very hardworking; her kids are adorable and wonderful. Bristol, for a 17-year-old to be examined and criticized the way shes been, shes just graceful and poised and lovely. And Willow, whos on the campaign trail with her mom, is just the sweetest 14-year-old Ive ever met in my life. And Piper has more personality than anyone on either side of this entire race. Watch out, Oprah! And Todd Palin is a wonderful, supportive husband and also a very smart political mind.
People are looking for an explanationhow do we judge her?
We should judge her by her record. Shes not someone who came off the street.
She has a uniform, she wears skirt suits. She has not changed her appearance. She is in the public eye, its all for everyone to examine. I dont know exactly why she has brought such strong reaction from the press and from supporters and detractors. But it is completely unfair for her to have to deal with any aspect with the story of the clothes.
I'll sit out the next election.
If that Romney shill Sean Hannity has Nicole Wallace on his show yet again, to flirt with this despicable bitch and send his regards to her father, he should face a serious boycott.
