Sarah Palin is wreaking havoc on the campaign trail, GOP sources say
Politico ^ | October 21, 2010 | Jonathan Martin

Posted on 10/21/2010 8:00:04 AM PDT by Al B.

The election is two weeks away, but the campaign trail reviews of Sarah Palin already are in, and they aren’t pretty.

According to multiple Republican campaign sources, the former Alaska governor wreaks havoc on campaign logistics and planning. She offers little notice about her availability, refuses to do certain events, is obsessive about press coverage and sometimes backs out with as little lead time as she gave in the first place.

In short, her seat-of-the-pants operation can be a nightmare to deal with, which, in part, explains why Palin doesn’t often do individual events for GOP hopefuls.

You had better open your eyes... that or you must work for the republican machine. Rush says it is so... Levin says it is so... my own eyes and ears tell me the truth... and you will NEVER convince me otherwise. Not even close.

You’re saying McCain, Romney and Rove had something to do with this hit piece by the Politico? It was fiction made up by Martin.

None of this is true... and Rush, Levin and Hannity have demanded a retraction and an apology.

Beck did, too, on his show this afternoon. He was pi$$ed.

Glad to hear it! Our top echelon is so on top of these creeps. Sad thing is many are supposed to be on our side. Rush said some of these republican operatives love obama... love his agenda... and agree with it. They will be happy if republicans win... but only if it does not upset their power and greed.

I am saying that Rush and the others have been privy to what is going on inside these camps. Private donor meetings have been held... where people like Mitch McConnell and David Issa are telling large donors, that they will not be repealing obamacare... that they will not stop the corporate gravy train that makes these statists filthy rich. McCain's people are involved in this... romney’s people are involved in this... even Bush's people are involved in this. They are planting these stories in the press, to destroy the Tea Party and the Conservative movement.

Rush had people that attended the meeting in Florida report back to him. All of this is true. When told directly to their faces that if they thought that this would fly with the Electorate today... if they actually did the things that they are promising these fat cats that they intend to do... that it would be the end of the republican party... that Conservatives would turn their backs on them and their machine... these statements were met with blank stares... like they couldn't believe what they were hearing.

Davis Issa called Rush yesterday... as he had been quoted in an article as saying that the republicans would get along with dims and reach across the isle and cooperate. He promised to follow all of the House rules and to involve dims in all ways possible. Of course he tried to spin his statements to Rush... who told him that we do not care about the House rules or bipartisanship... we did not want anyone reaching across the isle... THAT WE WANTED THEM TO STOP THE left’s AGENDA AND obama... AND REVERSE IT, BEFORE IT CAUSES THE DESTRUCTION OF AMERICA! lisa murkowski promised to reach across the isle and work with the dims... she said she would be proud to do it.

You truly need to educate yourself on who these people really are. rove is a low down dirty scum bag... I saw him rip O'Donnell on election night... I watched him double down for the following few days... I despise him and declare that he is an enemy of Conservatism... he is a republican power elite... and they are as guilty of the destruction of our Republic as any dim.

Jonathan Martin is, and has been from day one, Romney’s Palin hitster at Politico, started as soon as McCain named her to his team and finally was confirmed right before the election in 2008 in a blurb in The Spectator.

Right. Palin is a liability on the campaign trail, and Politico is concerned that she will harm Republicans.

Now you tell one.

Beck said only last week she has become one of his closest friends.

Anything — and I mean anything — coming from Jonathan Martin is coming courtesy of Mitt Romney and that is a fact, proven in 2008 when Romney used Martin at Politico to leak the McCain is having an affair story in February 2008 during the primaries, once McCain was the candidate Romney used Jonathan Martin to leak stories to hurt Sarah Palin. Each and every hit piece on Palin comes to you courtesy of Jonathan Martin at Politico -— don’t believe us google it.

the man behind Martin is Romney

Mitt is everywhere, including my email spam box.

Seriously, there was an email from Mitt Romney there about ten minutes ago.

How depressing to know he bought my email addy............
