It’s a non-story being totally eaten up by the Sarah-haters. I just hope that McCain doesn’t rub off on her.
Too late. She was one of his top campaign managers. She’s got RINOitis from head to toe.
Yup. McCain sells to unaffiliated voters in CA. This is a blue state Senate race, and all of the potential Palin votes have already been tapped. This is a smart move by Fiorina.
To win this race, Carly need to convince the few true undecideds left to vote for her. That's why you have your photo-ops with McCain instead of Palin in Blue California.
Interestingly enough, Most of the blue state GOP candidates have followed this plan as well. Heck, Ken Buck was offered a Jim DeMint visit POST-PRIMARY, but has not appeared with Senator DeMint since winning the nomination, and he's in a swing state. Dino Rossi has suddenly lost his desire to be seen with Jim DeMint in blue WA as well. O'Donnell has stopped appearing with pretty much any Conservative in the hopes of pulling an upset in DE, instead having rallies for other DE candidates to make nice with the Liberal state GOP in the hopes of having their machinery behind her on election day.
There is a such thing as political pragmatism, despite the demands of some here that Conservatives openly run in the general election as Jim DeMint/Sarah Palin Republicans even in blue states. No matter how much the purists howl, candidates aren't interested in losing their races. And the purists will never call-out their selected candidates anyway, just candidates they don't want to succeed.
You'll notice, for example, nobody is demanding Jim DeMint run on a platform of making it illegal for single mothers and homosexuals to teach, even though this is his view. Nobody is demanding Ken Buck get lynched despite attacking Tea Partiers/Birthers as nutcases. Carly Fiorina, however, is supposed to tour L.A. arm-in-arm with Sarah Palin in blue California.
The criticism is crap, and the same folks leveling it at FR would excuse any of their chosen candidate in a SECOND for this and many worse sins.
It is fun, however, hearing from these folks about how Plain is not a serious Presidential threat, as they appear about every hour on FR trying to take out this non-threat. LOL
What, no LOST treaty retreading today? LOL
