The GOP has, for many years, been a coalition of economic elitists(BIG OIL) and cultural populists.
Now, the cultural populists and economic elitists are opposed. Palin(populist) is going after BIG OIL(elitist)
I'll give you another question and I'll answer it.
Do you know how McCain vetted Palin? He called James Dobson.
Awww, is yousum bitter? ... Yousum not read list of McCain’s staff researchers. Such a shame yousum so ignorant when yousum can read.
And if McCain called Ben Ficklin to get his opinion of the best possible Republican to run with, who would Ben Ficklin recommend? I'm starting to get the impression that you're a contrarian and would not be happy with anybody.
