No, she didn’t have to, but she is a woman with character and paid back her obligations.
In no way does some mis-conceived sense of “obligation” override doing what is right.
McCain is using her and I bet laughing about it. If she were running in a contested primary in Alaska I bet he’d stay neutral which is what she should have done if she wasn’t conformable coming out against him.
McCain is an enemy of the conservative movement Palin is a part of. His opponent Hayworth is superior to him on the issues. Every conservative should be in his corner.
McCain appears to be winning, she’s helping him do it. Huge mistake on her part and thoroughly not cool. I understand her reasons but don’t condone her choice.
