A LOT of the very bitter leaks against Palin from D.C. that came out while she was governor in the Spring of last year came from Hutchinson’s office.
Hutchinson and McCain hate each other like poison, but she still wanted to be picked as Veep. Hutch despises Palin, and her staff (probably with the help of Mittens’ people) engaged in hostile leaking against Palin all last year.
There’s a reason Perry was Palin’s first endorsement in, like, March of last year. Palin and Hutch don’t get on.
Best,

I did not know this. I never heard Hutchinson’s name on any short list for McCain though. Was she just being delusional?
Frankly, I have no earthly idea why she is running for governor. I just moved to Texas and I feel that I’ve just married into a family where the mother and father hate each other but no one really knows why. It’s the strangest primary I’ve ever witnessed where two incredibly high profile contenders are both trying to attack each other from the right in extremely mean-spirited ads. I have to think that Texans will be sick of this fight very shortly.
