Political Notebook: Will Palin side with McCain or Simcox?
The Arizona Daily Star, Tucson, Ariz. ^ | 2009-04-25 | Daniel Scarpinato

Posted on 04/25/2009 9:06:27 AM PDT by rabscuttle385

In his campaign kick-off for U.S. Senate against John McCain, Republican Chris Simcox admitted Wednesday that he cast a ballot for McCain in November for president.

So, Simcox thinks McCain was fit to lead the free world but not represent Arizona in the U.S. Senate?

“I had no choice,” Simcox explained of his vote. “Let’s say Sarah Palin was acceptable, and that's who I voted for.”

Which leads to an interesting question: Who will Gov. Palin support in this GOP primary?

Agree...she should stay out of it and when asked, just dance around the question.

She should say, “I would like to stay our of Arizona politics, but I am grateful to John McCain for the opportunity to run for the vp.”

Yes . . . but it sure would be nice if McC could be talked into retiring before the primary.

Palin should just say she’s for a Conservative in favor of America and leave it at that.

She needs to be neutral on this one, since she can claim to less than “objective”.

The friends aren’t all that politically smart.

"Politically smart" people are the ones who have gotten us into most of our messes. I'd prefer REAL PEOPLE for a change!

She should say “I have too much respect for the people of Arizona to stick my nose into their business.”

Not just the Mittwits, but also the Sanfordistas.

She owes the turd nothing. He would have lost by larger margins without Sarah. She should be too busy to do anything to help that jerk.

Likely, but at least Sanford isn’t a total liberal puke like Romney.

“...McCain was fit to lead the free world but not represent Arizona...”

No, McCain is not fit to lead the free world or represent Arizona, but he is not quite as unfit to do so as 0banana.

Sarah should remember the treatment she received at the hands of McCain’s stooges, and return the favor. McCain is not fit to serve, and he will be nuisance to Sarah and the Republican Party. It’s time for a change.

I think Sarah would do well to just avoid this race in Arizona and focus on Alaska and building up for 2012.

She owes him a debt of gratitude for that,

There was more involve than that, he chose, then threw her under the bus, because she was a direct threat to him. Look at the recent comments by his chief campaign advisor, and openly gay advocate, look at his daughter's recent cuddling up with the loony lefty TV shows.

They were shocked at the people's acceptance of her, and immediately began to undermine her.

She should dance around it. She should say “It is to early to tell, I don’t know all the candidates”. That would get people talking.

What is their energy policy, especially their position on ANWR?

I personally would like to see all the incumbents voted out, including McCain, Reid, Dodd, Frank, Specter. Who else is up for reelection. We the people should enforce term limits.

It is time for a change. McCain’s reply when asked if he would support Sarah was “it is to early to tell, who knows who else will be running”.

She owes him nothing...

I’m sure we all would.

But elections are won or lost by staff professionals. Such is now the norm for the American political landscape.

I am not sold on Palin, the way some conservatives are drooling over her, its like the libs drooling over obama its just sickening. I think some folks need to tone a down a little. but that might just be the contrarian in me.

Sorry, but my liking her is hardly "drooling over her."

But, go ahead and stick with the RINO's that have taken over the party. Maybe McCain will run again so we stay out of power completely and can watch America go full blown communist.

You keep on following Meghan McCain and tell conservatives to "tone it down a little." You just may succeed in driving the last one out of the party.

Yeah, she should answer the same way McCan’t has been answering about his support for her........”Well, there are a lot of good candidates for Arizona Senator coming up, I’d really have to wait and see what happens down the road....yada yada yada blah blah blah.........”
