Strains Between McCain and Palin Aides Go Public

Report: Palin's Wardrobe Is to Be Audited by GOP

Now that the defeated team of Sen. John McCain and Gov. Sarah Palin have gone their separate ways, the knives are out and Palin is the one who is getting filleted.

Revelations from anonymous critics from within the McCain-Palin campaign suggest a number of complaints about the Alaskan governor:

Fox News reports that Palin didn't know Africa was a continent and did not know the member nations of the North American Free Trade Agreement -- the United States, Mexico and Canada -- when she was picked for vice president.

The New York Times reports that McCain aides were outraged when Palin staffers scheduled her to speak with French President Nicholas Sarkozy, a conversation that turned out to be a radio station prank.

Newsweek reports that Palin spent far more than the previously reported $150,000 on clothes for herself and her family.

Several publications say she irked the McCain campaign by asking to make her own concession speech on election night.

The tension is likely to continue or get worse. Lawyers for the Republican National Committee are heading to Alaska to try to account for all the money that was spent on clothing, jewelry and luggage, according to The New York Times.

What is going on here is just pathetic. I hope we find out who the RINO’s are.

How stupid does one have to be to believe that Sarah Palin didn't know Africa was a continent?

1. Sarah Palin was raised by TWO school teachers.
2. Sarah Palin was a standout student in elementary and high school.
3. Sarah Palin went to 5 different colleges and has a 4 year degree.
4. Sarah Palin was a business owner, a mayor and a governor.
5. And finally Sarah Palin is a mom. She has one child graduated from high school, one kid about to graduate and three more that are winding their way through the school system. If you're a parent who is even remotely interested in your kids education you would think that the fact that Africa is a continent would have come up at some point.

“Lawyers for the Republican National Committee are heading to Alaska to try to account for all the money that was spent on clothing, jewelry and luggage, according to The New York Times.”

Wasn't it the RNC who bought the clothes? They don't know what they bought?

This is insane.

Is McCain just looking for someone to blame....the same person he picked to pull him into relevancy in the first place.

They blame Palin so McLame goes back the Senate and supports Gramma, Dingy Harry and Hussein. If they stated how inept McLame and the RNC actually has been, they’d lose his support. Besides, the Pubs don’t want to hear about being totally in the tank for Socialism.

The clothing thing and the “stupid” thing are just designed to fit into the stereotype of sexism. However, I’d suggest that it’s really just a front for what the Palin-haters really dislike about her - her faith in Christ. They hate her because they hated Him first.

A: The need another job.

B: They want to ruin the chances of a Palin run again....perpetuated by the MSM (who is giving them cred and air time).

C: They are not loyal to the party.

And where exactly is traitor McCain, these are his people. I only voted for the turncoat because of Sarah. Now he can go back to kissing dems ass and going on all the liberal TV shows. I blame myself for falling for a liberal republican.

This all strikes me as really stupid, the stories either amount to nothing or are bogus. The media wants to destroy Palin because they fear her.

If Nicole Wallace doesn’t come forward to dispute this, I would think she’s the one feeding it. She was the “handler” for Palin, bought the clothes.

RINO haters inside the Juan McLame camp are just looking to shift the blame. It was their “moderate, new tone, above the fray” campaign style that brought the loss to their door, not Palin.

Sarah Palin will be one to watch, not them, and they are jealous.

These people are trying to preserve their own professional campaign reputations (”Don’t blame me”) by pointing at Gov Palin (”Blame her instead”). It is ugly to watch and I hope it smacks them back in their own faces. Bad mouthing the candidate is NOT career enhancing for a professional pollster!

What’s with FOX? Seems to me Carl Cameron, who I always liked, and FOX are picking up where the MSM left off.
