If asked she would be required to campaign for McCain. McCain gave her a national forum. He personally has stood by her regardless of what his former campaign manager said about her. If she didn't campaign for him she would look like an ingrate and a jerk.

I for one hope that J.D. Hayworth wins the primary and takes the general election. Even if she felt the same way she could not avoid standing by John McCain.

I agree. Even though I would not vote or support McCain, Sarah would look petty and ungrateful if he personally asked her to campaign for him and she refused. Plus, I think she really admires him personally, even though she disagrees with him on a lot of issues. She’s in a no-win situation here, but the honorable one is to give McCain her support right now.

Yes she would, she owes McCain despite how she or anyone else feels about his politics. Without his taking her on she would still be that “cute gal who is governor where?”.

Sadly it will not been seen that way.

I tend to agree. Has she committed to campaigning for McCain in a GOP primary, or only in the general election (or has she been vague)?

I’d have no problem at all with her campaigning for McCain against a liberal Democrat in the general election. As much as we all love Scott Brown right now, McCain is probably more conservative than Brown.

If Hayworth (who I’d obviously like to see win)runs, I’d rather Palin stay out for the primary, but I could understand her feeling obligated to suport McCain.

re: J.D. Hayworth wins the primary and takes the general election

Amen! That would be the surest way to avoid putting Sarah in a tough place!

I would prefer JD to McCain anyway. As pointed out by another poster, it's time to get some young blood into Congress.

IMHO he asked for it because he knows he is in trouble.

IMHO go J.D. !!!
