Palin, 44, has led the character attacks on Obama in the belief that McCain may be throwing away the election and her chance of becoming vice-president. Her supporters think that if the Republican ticket loses on November 4, she should run for president in 2012.

A leading Republican consultant said: “A lot of conservatives are grumbling about what a poor job McCain is doing. They are rolling their eyes and saying, ‘Yes, a miracle could happen, but at this rate it is all over’.

“Sarah Palin is no fool. She sees the same thing and wants to salvage what she can. She is positioning herself for the future. Her best days could be in front of her. She wants to look as though she was the fighter, the person with the spunk who was out there taking it to the Democrats.”

It's over and McCain has conceded.

With his electoral prospects fading by the day

Only in the eyes of the political left and their MSM cohorts.

Rubbish! Palin is a good soldier, no matter what she might think about Mc Cain’s strategy. McCain’s problem is exactly this “honorable loss” business. For God’s sake! Obama is a Marxist conniving, two-bit crook. Do we want him for our president?

A “tussle”? This reporter would be in no position to know, and is just making crap up. Mac may have some old-fashioned ideas but he’s a fighter with more stamina than most men walking the streets today. Having the Veep play the bad cop has been SOP for decades.

Hmmm,...well. It is the Times UK, but let's face it this race would be over without Governor Palin.

I don't necessarily like some of the frenzy and whacked out mobs. Who knows what some of idiot at a political rally may yell? But do they seriously think that there is no equivalency on the left??

Puh - leeze!

. . . to suffer an “honourable defeat” rather than conduct a campaign that would be out of character . . .

You're up against a phony protected by the media.  HONORABLE?  Out of CHARACTER?  Why the hell are you running, John?  To lose?

Sarah Palin has a touch job to do, trying to cart a heavy RINO across the finish line.

It looks like native born Americans are going to have to drag McCain kicking and screaming into the Oval Office. We can try I guess. The future of our country depends on him winning this thing.

I guess these idiots don’t realize mCCain don’t have a chance unless the voters hear about Obama’s treasonous friends. Not to mention he could have shut down his campaign last month without Palin. Every dime the Party takes in is because of Palin. If McCain gets elected it will be on her skirttails.

Mark Salter, McCain’s long-serving chief of staff, is understood to have told campaign insiders that he would prefer his boss, a former Vietnam prisoner of war, to suffer an “honourable defeat”

Spoken like the loser that RINOs like McCain are.

More PsyOps propaganda.

Buried in the middle of that steaming pile of bull is a ray of truth:

“A spokesman for McCain denied he and Palin had fallen out over her aggressive attacks. “Vice-presidential candidates are typically the tip of the spear and further out in front than the candidate for president. This is pretty standard fare,” he said.”

“Cries of ‘terrorist’ and ‘kill him’ have accompanied the tirades by the governor of Alaska against the Democratic nominee at Republican rallies.”

WTF? Is the MSM shallow enough to actually eat this nonsense up? I thought they had SOME standards. Is it possible that the history books will record McCain’s struggle with the fanaticism of his crowds? MSM, you are outdoing yourself.

How many cries of “kill him” and “terrorist” have there been at these rallies?

The Media builds random nothings into blazing somethings.

Tell a lie often enough and it becomes the truth. Pravda has nothing on these guys.

So McCain's limp campaign is Mark Salter’s fault?
