Only an idiot or a Briton would believe that Palin is out there, a loose cannon, doing her own thing, and that McCain is arguing with her to tone it down,,etc.

This is classic campaign 101,,, aggressive attack dog Veep, throwing red meat to the base,, the pres candidate above the fray, appealing to the middle.

I hate to say it,, but we have to beat this marxist friend of the muslims. Our very freedom depends on it. Usually i dont feel that way before an election.

Our base is already reliably terrified of Obama,, and McCain on his most liberal day is 100 times better than this truly frightening alternative. Ergo,,,we MUST focus on the swing vote now. And that is what i think (hope) McCain is doing here. I think it would blow our minds to know how many people vote for the one they think “seems nicest”. I hate it too, but time to face reality.

But i assure you, Palin isn’t doing a damn thing that isnt 100% in step with the overall strategy. Get real Times.

One of the major complains was that Team McCain were not allowing Palin to do interviews after the Convention and until the VP debate. That was not Palin's doing; that was the handlers' doing.

Palin's problem is that she is upstaging the GOP presidental candidate. You can bet that grates on his ego.
