The general rule among returning Las Vegas vacationers is what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas. The same is true for professional political staffers returning from life on the campaign trail. Sure you re-hash certain particularly amusing or dramatic anecdotes with friends over a few beers, but you dont purposefully blab to the national media in an effort to sandbag your candidate.
Not surprisingly, the McCain campaign doesnt want to abide by the unspoken, but widely understood, rules of political protocol. Certain campaign insiders are, and have been, engaged in an effort to throw Governor Sarah Palin under the bus for - in their estimation bringing the McCain ticket down. These Benedict Arnolds have leaked everything from alleged Palin tantrums to rumored shopping sprees and a seemingly exaggerated tall tale that tries to paint Palin as inappropriate for opening the door to her hotel room one morning in a towel. In my estimation the only thing that smacks of inappropriateness is the behavior of these staffers.

They were taken aback?
When I heard this from Carl Cameron on O'Really, I knew instantly this was BS. First of all, it told me Sarah was saving her family from suffering the long hours of work by having them in a separate room (if true) and it tells me of the characterization of Todd, if that was my wife and these childish accusations were made, I would be finding these POS's and taking my belt off and using it across their faces.
Yea, All those BIG crowds and huge donations Palin got were from fawning FReepers.... ::rollseyes::
...and they are complaining?
You win the dumb*ss post of the day award.
“There is a lot of blame to go around. And the fact, the tide was against them anyhow. But Sarah didn’t cement the base and didn’t attract the PUMA vote. She had high negatives. And if she did any of the stuff Cameron noted, then what’s the beef if it’s exposed.”
That’s a bunch of bovine secretions. McCain was the lousy candidate. He ran the same kind of campaign as Bob Dole. Both were following the Senate practice of speaking nice about each other. Choosing Palin was the only good thing he did. She has proved herself in spite of the poor handling by McCain’s campaign manager snobs.
Sarah resonated with the Republican base. None of the current repubcrat leadership are worth a damn. During the next two years she could become a member of the House or Senate. By 2012 she just might beat the messiah with one of her high heels.
You know, this post election pols all having a cat fight really disgusts me. Let’s turn to something of worth.
How the heck are YOU and I am damn glad to run across you.
With her high positives, she exposed the ACORN fraud.
She needs to stay OUT of the Senate - just look at the quality of the 3 that did come out of there!
The senate is comprised of 100 hyper-inflated gasbag egos filled with hot air, floating around searching for a live TV camera to puff up and pontificate in front of.
As a governor, she is one of 50, not one of 100 or one of 435. EITHER would be a step down, and a bad idea.
It doesn't surprise me a bit. It fits his personality and character to a T.
And if you think she did then you're just a sucker for anything that oozes out of the boobtube.
See post #49. Then get lost.
I'll second that!
It sure would be nice of you to either provide facts to back up this assertion or to provide an abject apology to us and especially to Governor Palin. Of course I won’t hold my breath waiting for either one...
I quite agree regarding this 'cat fight'. Too much energy expended on finger pointing not enough on problem solving nor specific achievement. And especially on future vision and issues.
This republic probably needs a shake now and then. I consider 'us' now shaken.
