Carl Cameron just said McCain campaign shocked to discover Sarah Palin did not realize Africa was a continent, believing instead that it was a country. She did not know the countries in NAFTA. She refused offered preparation for the Couric interview and threw temper tantrums over adverse press.
Wow. Dumping on Sarah in a big way. Shep asked how on Earth the McCain camp could have ended up picking such a dope (not exact words, but sense of what he said).
They did point out she seemed to help the polling numbers.
I knew this was going to be the template, but I was surprised at the level of nastiness on Fox News. Looks like elements of the McCain campaign is determined to make her the scapegoat for the loss. (Couldn't have been anything about the man at the top of the ticket.)
Fox News: Palin didn't know Africa was a continent You Tube
Sounds like Randy knew Palin was being sabotaged by McCain’s staff and went to bat for her and try to correct it.
McCain fired the wrong staffers, but it doesn’t matter. He and his staff are no longer important.
Does not surprise me at all. Her interviews were at about that level.
She was a mistake.
That Romney is also a fascist who imposed HillaryCARE=RomneyCARE
is probably consistent.
"I've incorporated fascist HillaryCARE and screwed everyone without a single vote.
It is so good to be Dictator."
Another thing, this gallant lady has endured the most horrific barrage of crap from the media that I’ve ever seen. And, she’s done it with class and grace. Now the rodent-like operatives within the campaign operation itself bring out their long knives. There should be a special place in hell for these people.
It’s not a statement I’ve been easily prone to make over the years, about anybody, but I want to say without question that Sarah Palin is my hero.
We don’t need moderates.
Nice try, though. You get an A for effort.
Well, yeah! John "Reach Across the Aisle" McPain is much more politically aligned with 0 than he is with Sarah. They're polar opposites! I am actually surprised that she ran with him.

I am convinced we are looking at the future American Margaret Thatcher. President Palin will be the first woman on Mt. Rushmore when she is done.

Yeah, that was weird.
I think it was a party for Britt’s last election night.
It would have been nice if they had shared that with the rest of us. It appeared they were more than a little tipsy.

Wow, you’re comparing Palin to the greatest President in the modern era. Please, don’t insult the Gipper.
Look, I respect what Palin has accomplished. I’m just saying that there are better, more attractive conservatives out there who can reach out to swing voters. I agree that Palin energized voters, certainly moreso than what McCain was able to accomplish. But that doesn’t mean Palin is the best candidate in 2012. Remember, Obama is the incumbent? He has all the advantages of incumbency. We need someone smart, competent, and unapologetically conservative who can match Obama’s rhetoric. You guessed it.... it’s Jindal (don’t want to sound like a broken record).
there is something special about Palin.
I have it on good authority that Cindy adores her and was instrumental in having her selected.
I also know someone who works for Palin so I will be asking around this week-end for more information.
I agree, too, that she’s special. But ask yourself: is it enough to win the Presidency? Is it enough to win all those swing voters in Northern Virginia, Charlotte, NC, or Indiana (I still can’t believe Indiana is now a swing state)?
Yes, the Press has destroyed her. Yes, her treatment has been unfair. But who said politics is fair? It’s never fair. Look, the bottom line is I want to win. I think all conservatives want to win. Who is the best person that can win without sacrificing their conservative principles? It’s Jindal.
Here’s Palin’s contact info: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2126454/posts
“”Wow, you’re comparing Palin to the greatest President in the modern era. Please, don’t insult the Gipper.””
It might surprise you to know that even Karl Rowe said he has not seeing anyone like her since Reagan.
