Stumping for McCain IS a part of becoming a viable Republican candidate in 2012.

We'll just have to disagree on that. She was part of a presidential ticket and is now very well known. She should be establishing her positions. She cannot campaign with McCain without being tainted by his positions of the past: amnesty, for cap and trade, against Bush tax cuts, for closing Gitmo, against enhanced interrogation, and he sounds ready to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory in some statements about Obamacare.

Sarah doesn't need McCain and she owes him nothing. She strengthened his ticket and brought him votes he could never have won. Now, he does need her, but this will only harm her and he knows it. A mistake on her part if she has any plans to run again for national office. Maybe she has no plans to run later, but she should tell her supporters if that's the case.

Good post.....for the reasons you mentioned I am moved to once more assume she is not going to run. Rather she is doing exactly what she wants in moving Rebublican canidates along..and their supporters. She’s assisting in shaping the party. Mcain, unfortunately, is simply pay back and how it works.

If I look at her decisions from this prospective..this makes good sense. Although I really believe McCain needs to retire..yesturday.
