SCAPEGOATING SARAH

NY Post ^ | 11/06/08

The search for someone to blame for John McCain's defeat was well under way yesterday. Many fingers, not surprisingly, were pointed at Sarah Palin.

Actually, the Palin scapegoating began before the polls even opened, with top McCain staffers complaining that the Alaska governor was a "diva" given to straying "off message."

Nonsense.

True, she turned out not to be the magic bullet Republicans had hoped for.

Then again, John McCain turned out not to be the asset Republicans had hoped for. Terming his performance - and that of the campaign itself - lackluster sort of understates the case.

Exactly.

M4-Myth Romney: "You will embrace this attack on Gov. Palin using Jindal's name. Support it, from our lands in
the north. I will gain GOP favor by condemning it and
ordering it opposed from our lands in the south. Whichever way
the tide runs, we will rise."

He might have had my vote.

He wouldn’t have had my money.
He wouldn’t have had my volunteer time.

McCain was a drag on the ticket and you can take that to the bank.

No actually we know at least some of the stories are flat out lies. Bill Kristol has been saying all morning that these people are paranoid and delusional. In the final days of the campaign they were prying into each others computers to see who had been talking to the press about whom. They actually accused him of advising her from the outside. He said he did one interview with her a month ago and that is literally the only time they have spoken. He basically said the entire staff needs to shut up and take a vacation.

Here’s her email: governor@alaska.gov

Success has a million fathers, but Failure is always an orphan.

[redk]

That’s true. But with campaign staff I don’t see how anyone could have expected to win.

[redk]

Sorry that should be *this* campaing staff.

He suggested that the Republicans who don’t like Palin are “kneecapping” her to stop her before she becomes the front runner for 2012.

It won't work.

We are wayyyy ahead of John McCain (and his staff) on this.

And, luckily, Sarah is tough enough to survive any of these SCORCHED PARTY moves.

Screw the Romneybots and all Rinos.Our take back the GOP started yesterday.
AMEN!
They can take their "big tent" and shove it up their @ss sideways.

[Rappini]

Last night I revised my read window McCain/Palin sticker by cutting McCains name and website off it leaving just Palin. That should upset some Liberal nutjob.

Can someone get that to read: "DON'T TREAD ON SARAH ???
