Say what you will, but this is a very bad story for McCain and Palin. They better get out in front of it this weekend. They need to start with a news conference early Saturday. Then him and her need to get on every news show they can over the weekend. She better get her side out quickly and do it repeatedly.
I am afraid there is just too much going against the republicans this year. Every time, McCain seems to be getting traction, something else hits (economy, this).
STATEMENT FROM MCCAIN-PALIN SPOKESWOMAN MEG STAPLETON
Friday, October 10, 2008
ARLINGTON, VA — McCain-Palin 2008 spokeswoman Meg Stapleton issued the following statement on today’s release of Stephen Branchflower’s report:
“Today’s report shows that the Governor acted within her proper and lawful authority in the reassignment of Walt Monegan. The report also illustrates what we’ve known all along: this was a partisan led inquiry run by Obama supporters and the Palins were completely justified in their concern regarding Trooper Wooten given his violent and rogue behavior. Lacking evidence to support the original Monegan allegation, the Legislative Council seriously overreached, making a tortured argument to find fault without basis in law or fact. The Governor is looking forward to cooperating with the Personnel Board and continuing her conversation with the American people regarding the important issues facing the country.”
Quick enough for you? ;^)
