Excuse me .. I never said she had renounced McCain - so don’t put words in my mouth. Actually, Palin is more ideologically aligned with Hayworth, but I agree she does have a sense of owing McCain .. since he did launch her onto the national stage.
However, I don’t see Palin running out there to be the face of McCain’s campaign either. And .. I don’t believe his campaign workers are that keen on having her around .. espeically since she outed them in her book.
I’m betting that if Hayworth gets the nomination, Palin will support him by actively campaigning for him.
Palin owes McLame nothing. She did her job during the campaign, a fine job at that. McLame would have lost a really humiliating defeat had she not have been on the ticket. If I remember right, she was a Governor of Alaska.
However McLame is a politician, he would know as well as anyone why it is not good for her to back him.
