I have a different take on this. I don’t think Sarah Palin plans to run in 2012, or else, if she does, maybe McPain said he will support her.
Mostly, it is a poor decision on her part.
All this hating on Sarah, as if she’s gonna vote and bam McCain gets in. This is up to Arizona. It’s on their shoulders to get rid of him. Not Sarah’s.
If Hayworth will run against him, I will contribute to his campaign. McCain is too anti-US and too confused to be given a pass. Hard to forget how Lieberman used to whisper answers to him as if he were a puppet.
It’s early yet.
Run, JD....we will back you. Remember Scott was down 30 points from Martha last month!!!!
“. He already launched radio ads touting his effort to block President Obama’s “extreme left wing crusade.”
How soon we forget...
McCain wants to spend $300 billion to buy up bad mortgages; Martin Feldstein behind it
By Michelle Malkin • October 7, 2008
I can’t underscore enough what a rotten idea John McCain’s ACORN-like government mortgage buy-up is. I said it during my liveblog. And I’ll say it again: “HE WANTS TO EXPAND THE BAILOUT. He wants to do what ACORN wants to do. We’re Screwed ‘08.”
This was his supposed “game-changer.” This was the very first thing out of his mouth during the debate tonight — his big pitch right off the bat. The McCain campaign immediately sent out this fact sheet on the proposal, which will cost at least $300 billion. The proposal involves directing the Treasury Secretary to “purchase mortgages directly from homeowners and mortgage servicers.” That’s on top of the trillion-dollar crap sandwich
Read that last paragraph again. He would enact this new spending plan using the authorities provided in the stabilization bill — the same ones I reported on in my special column for the NYPost today championed by Obama’s friends at ACORN.
It’s a great idea…for everyone who bought overpriced homes with Adjustable Rate Mortgages. Those who rented or bought within their means or locked into fixed-rate loans that they can afford are out of luck, naturally.[snips]

Sarah’s got no real choice in this. She doesn’t have to agree with McCain on everything to support him, and I’m happy to take her word that she sees him as an American hero, a needed symbol for our troops. She’s already fenced with him on certain issues, and I don’t doubt that’ll continue. And maybe some of her will rub off.
Hayworth, on the other hand, with ALL the right answers, still looks like a scandal waiting to happen. Maybe it’s his hair.
Hayworth hasn’t even declared his candidacy and McCain has been acting a bit more like he is aware that he might be challenged from the right. Hayworth can’t run a Coakley campaign . He needs to sell himself. Dems won’t put much effort into challenging McCain but Hayworth would change that. It would be nice to see a respectful idea based primary challenge.
Why did Sarah get into bed (symbolically) with a RINO like McCain to begin with? A true conservative would have stuck to conservative principles and said no, and bided her time so she could run on her own without the RINO albatross around her neck.
It is early in the campaign. Still plenty of time to help JD and I will be sending him donations. This is the 1% I don’t agree with Sarah on but I understand why she is doing this.
Sarah Palin is not the great Messiah that the Palin Amen Chorus anointed her to be. She can’t win the nomination in 2012 and should run for Senate for Alaska and serve a full term without quitting. She can support McCain there.
Hayworth is a great guy, a well known ‘jock,’ but he isn’t that sharp. He’s just not leadership material, and enough Arizonians know that to make this race irrelevant.
I don’t think Hayworth will even run. People in AZ falsely “think” that McPain is “conservative”, and I don’t think we can change their minds.
It is a waste of time to attack John McCain. It is a waste of our resources. He is with us in opposition to Obama. Let us focus on knocking off real ideological liberals like Mark Kirk.
Plenty of time left. Sarah is showing up now, which is way out in political time. She knows but I think she has to be this way due to her VP run with the goofball.
Sarah is NOT the choice of the Rinos!!!
If JD runs - the Conservatives have to do a write in or stick by their principles during the primaries & nix McCain even if Sarah campaigns with him.
Good for Sarah...she has common sense. I get so sick of some of the old fart idiots on here....everyone’s a rino, I lked him/her...now they are traitors. Bunch of stupid old angry people with too much time on their hands and the intelligence of a banana slug.
SARAH...not ready for prime time YET
