The real savaging of Sarah now is coming from the exact same source who originated and perpetrated it during the campaign: McCain and RNC insiders. The good old boys know that if Sarah succeeds, they will be gone old boys (as well they should be), so they will do anything to help bring about her demise. That’s just the way the game is played, folks.
That is a ridiculous statement.
Is it true that you are, in fact, the former “ElwoodP” posting on FR since 1998 and, if so, why did you change your identity?
I have to agree with you. McCains campaign was so lame that I just can't believe that it could have been anything other than done-on-purpose. McCain got to ingratiate himself with his RAT buddies, and is now comfortably eye-thumbing the PUBs again. And, he got to destroy an up and coming conservative in the process. It seems that the mans' hatred of the Republican party started in 2000 when he was beaten by Bush. Am I wrong here?
During the campaign it was 'Rat oppo. They tossed the files up in Alaska, the media tossed Joe the Plumber's dumpster and dragged out his divorce papers and threw them in his face. (Okay, MSM researchers, 'Rat oppo, same thing.)
I agree that some of the later backbiting goes back to McCain staffers who came over from Romney's campaign, and I fully expect that Romney's big-money backers will be hiring gumshoes to follow Sarah around for the next four years.
But anyone who was reading Mo Dowd, Froma Harrop, and Kathleen Parker during the campaign knows where the real hate-heat is.
