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

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.

pins and needles until we see what happens Nov 2nd, and to think there was a time I thought we had honest elections.... now I just hope we have enough turnout to overcome the fraud.

Yes, the fraud looks very worrisome to me.

I read the article about massive fraud in registration in the McClung/Grivijalva race. (however his name is spelled)

The Marxists registering over 3,000 illegals!!!

“Mostly, they’re upset that she won’t take their direction. She’s dragging them to victory.”

Nicely turned phrase. Me steal.

” if they do, there goes the whole GOP establishment and they don’t want that.”

I do.

“Perhaps Sean Hannity needs to knock off”

Hannity is just not reliable. I wonder why. He gets some things right, and then goes shooting off to planet Barking Moonbat.

“It looks like now NPR has jumped the shark.”

Yeah, when Earl Warren was chief justice.

Yes, it appears they are trying to steal this race and last night we had non Arizona FReepers going on on yet another McCain tangent because he has been giving PAC money to the people trying to defeat Democrats like this jerk here in Arizona.

It’s a ground war. Pelosi said as much recently. They are confident in the fraud they have laid ready in local and state contests to carry them through. When they spoke of “astro-turf”, they knew of which they spoke, because they were the inventors of it!

In a new Barbara Boxer ad, they say Fiorina is endorsed by that “extremist” Sarah Palin.

That's the same commercial with the evil looking Assault Weapon in it. Too bad they didn't show the picture of Sarah holding the AR-15 the NRA gave her.

RINOS travel and attack in packs. I’d be willing to be Rove is orchestrating this too.

Did Rover ever say he didn't want her to win? I don't think that is what he was saying. I think he very much wants Republicans to pick up every seat possible and O'Donnell is a weak candidate.

I agree with Rove on that. When I saw the "I am not a witch" ad, I cringed. This is my team and she does not impress me.

That said, she is far and away better than the RAT and if she can't beat him, there's something wrong.

It is too bad there was not a better candidate. I probably would have voted for O'Donnell, too, but Rove should not be criticized for caring more about picking up the seat. It's a matter of opinion and if O'Donnell loses, then who's to say Rove was wrong? I won't, he may have been right.

BTW, I am not going to defend Romney.

Please offer an apology for your derogatory remarks about Senator Grassley. This is an honorable man and you have degraded him when it was not deserved.

If Grassley was so honorable, why does he hold a more-or-less open-borders position?

These people are still our allies.

Rove is not our Ally, all you need to reference is his tearing down of O'Donnell AFTER she had won the primary and his support of Amnesty.

Here are Grassley's positions on illegal immigration. http://www.ontheissues.org/international/Chuck_Grassley_Immigration.htm

For Pete's sake, what are you looking for? It is difficult to find a more honorable man in DC than Grassley. We are all better off because he is there. I walked in a parade with him a couple of weeks ago. It was a great experience. The crowd was thrilled to see him. He is totally unspoiled. He is still as humble as he was when he went to DC. He was in a conversation with some other ag people and he was telling them his beans tested 8 percent. He still cares about the same things the rest of Iowans care about.

Is he perfect? Probably not but they don't come much finer.

Nobody wants to put their name to this stuff. Why am I no longer surprised?
