Palin needs a competent spokesperson for conservative groups. Meg Stapleton really screwed up with speaking engagements last year. Because of Stapleton’s reputation for incompetence, Bob McDonnell did not want Palin campaigning for him and instead opting for the more reliable Mitt Rommney. If Palin doesn’t find a competent sopkesperson soon, conservatives will treat Palin the same way Gov Bob McDonnell treated Palin.
LOL. Right. Ed Gillespie, noted establishment hack for the Bush family and their surrogate Romney, took over the McDonnell campaign and had nothing to do with the decision to diss Palin. Is that your contention?
Ed Gillespie, the man who accused Gov. Palin of lying about her 'death panels' statement.
Ed Gillespie, the man who called Mitt Romney "thoughtful", "principled" and "a leader".
Joshua Livestro, a blogger with C4P, had this to say back in October:
I spoke to one source with direct access to both the campaign staff and the candidate himself who said they've noticed a remarkable change in McDonnell's attitude towards Palin since the RNC selected Washington insider Ed Gillespie to head his campaign:
"I talked to Bob personally earlier in the summer about the idea of bringing Palin in. He was stoked about having her campaign with him. If you check out Bob's positions on the issues, you'd swear you were reading Palin's positions--they are that close on the issues. Bob knows the Guv--he was onstage with her at her VA rallies last fall and traveled with her, too. Then the RNC brought in Ed Gillespie to run the campaign - and the McDonnell folks did a 180 on Palin."But it's all Meg Stapleton's fault. LMAO.
