That is not quite the way it goes. Many of us would have stayed home on election day if Sarah Palin had NOT been on the ticket. SOME of us understood that McCain deliberately chose Palin because he THOUGHT she was a sure loser. He WANTED to pick Joe Lieberman and was ticked off because even his psycophants told him they would leave if he did.
He chose who he thought was the worst possible running mate and got the surprise of his worthless life.
Palin “owes” him squat. And she WILL hurt herself with Conservatives by campaigning for him.
JD has a warchest already. He is stalling on his announcement, but it can’t be for much longer. If Sarah was smart, she would stay OUT of Arizona until AFTER the primaries and let the voters of AZ choose their candidate first.
If she campaigns hard and seriously for McCain, she loses a ton of goodwill Conservatives have lavished on her.
