“How is she being used if she’s going along with it? “
Because she has no option, if asked to support him. If she declines, she looks like the most ungracious person on Earth and STILL loses. So, he’s using her because he knows she can’t say “no.”

She has an option now. With the recent 'coming out' so to speak of Cindy and Meghan McCain and their pro-homo agenda for queer marriage, all Sarah has to do is have a quiet one-on-one conversation with McCain and say:

"John? You will always have my admiration and respect, but the blatant support that your wife and daughter are showing for gay marriage, and their sharing YOUR name makes that support very high profile, I'm just not comfortable signing on to your re-election campaign, I will be happy to stand by my statements about how I admire your military service and how you have served our Nation, but I think the time is now here for the people of Arizona to have a full and unfettered discussion about the issues without my becoming an issue, a person who doesn't even live in your State, so good luck John, and my best wishes to you and your family."

See? Problem solved. And I wouldn't even invoice Sarah if she wanted to use my hypothetical scripted conversation to get herself out of this mess!

...but I think the time is now here for the people of Arizona to have a full and unfettered discussion about the issues without my becoming an issue, a person who doesn't even live in your State, so good luck John, and my best wishes to you and your family."

That part would be good enough. No real need for homo part of it.

Palin has, apparently, decided to start playing the game. I have a feeling she feels the need, or has been convinced that there is a need for her, to ingratiate herself with the GOP establishment. Frankly, after this I don't want to support her for any office. We'll see.
