CBS: Palin Emails Show Infighting With Staff
Little Green Footballs ^ | July 03, 2009 | Little Green Footballs

CBS has obtained internal McCain-Palin campaign emails that show a lot of infighting between Sarah Palin and campaign staffers.

Internal campaign e-mails exchanged three weeks before Election Day offer a rare look at just how frustrated then Republican vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin had become with the manner in which top McCain campaign aides were handling her candidacy. The e-mails, obtained exclusively, also highlight the power struggle and thinly veiled acrimony that pervaded the relationship between Palin and the campaign’s chief strategist, Steve Schmidt.

The episode in question began when an investigative report published on the left-leaning Web site Salon.com raised questions about Palin’s relationship with members of the Alaska Independence Party (AIP) when she was mayor of Wasilla. The AIP’s platform calls for a vote giving Alaskans the option to secede from the United States. It had already been widely known that Todd Palin was a registered member of the AIP from 1995 to 2002 and that Governor Palin had taped a recorded greeting at the party’s 2008 convention.

I suppose these leaks are intended to damage Sarah. I hope that Kristol or others in a position to do so will get to the bottom of this and see that all these scummy McCain staffers never work for a Republican again.

Let them eat cake, since they are so snooty.

Oh, here we go. Totally predictable. The leftist MSM feeding frenzy has begun. After all that the rotten MSM has done to her and her family, the MSM does NOT deserve a straight answer(s) from her at all.

Let them speculate until hell freezes over.

McCain’s an idiot. He was afraid it was her vs. Osama.

She’s now making her move for 2012.

This is sure out of left field. We’re talking October 2008. Why is this relevant CBS? This had already been made public too.

Steve Schmidt was and is a ‘first class’ Clymer. Bet he gave the emails to CBS. He ran the worst campaign I have ever been associated with and I have less then zero respect for him. He needs to become a DemocRAT.

The one bright spot of this is, Gov. Palin wiped Mikey Jackson off of the front pages. LOL! Sorry Mikey. Oh yeah. You too Joe!

Yeah yeah. We already get that McCain’s aids hate Sarah and are doing all kinds of grossly unethical leaks to smear her.

And CBS and LGF are an ongoing disgrace.

No news

McPain ran a bad campaign—Palin at least brought attention to the ticket. Now his daughter is all over the place and an embarrassment to listen to. Yet, the media like her—at least enough to have her run her mouth. Somehow, we need to get better spokespeople.

Old stuff. We have already been thru all this. Schmidt is a snake, so is staff of alphabet stations. They all slither; only reptiles are dry and these people are slimey.

I would like to see Sarah get her own show--much better than Huckabee.
