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.

Please.......politico, more Republican sources? Sarah said herself that she is careful not to interject herself too much in these races because then it will be all about her, taking the focus off on the democrat running, her staff even said that they told some campaigns not to mention her too much if it does more harm than good from ralling the dems

This is a flat out lie. Sarah Palin never backed out of any interview with me. Period. And John Martin, the reporter, never contacted me to ask me directly. I insist on a retraction.

The Republican primaries HAVE BEGUN!

The questions is:

Which camp is talking to Politico?

She’s the best thing to hit the Republican party since Ronald Reagan. If she wins Christine O’Donnell could very well be the second. We love anyone who can stick it in the eye of the lefties and a successful Republican woman ticks them off more than anything. Sarah Palin would most likely been just another Vice Presidential candidate if they had not been so dirty to her in their attacks!!

I do too, Outlaw Woman. There is nothing like a good Levin rant to round out one’s day.
Jonathan/Politico is going to get it in the proverbial arse! Yay...

No offense. Just expected pissant to be scouring the web for anything negative on SP.

I’m wondering if the ‘multiple Republican campaign soures’ are from candidates where Palin couldn’t or wouldn’t put in an appearance, or couldn’t do it at the exact moment they wanted it done?

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

Exactly. The same GOP faction hates her for the same reasons they hated Reagan before her.

I love the smell of desperation in the morning...

I expect a war against Sarah Palin by the Romney/Bush/Rove people after the election, but what really bothers me is that these people don't even have the integrity to wait until Nov. 3 to start this vendetta. Hell with all of 'em...

He framed it as a matter of Palin putting her family first. “People lose sight of the fact that this is a woman with certain responsibilities that other major figures in the Republican Party don’t have — in her case, five kids, one of whom is very young,” Goldfarb said.

All over the country, Republican candidates and Democratic operatives have just written that statement down and will use it against Palin if she runs in 2012.

I don’t do Facebook(have four children and don’t want to know stuff: can you relate?) so let me know what he says.
I write to Jonathan often. He usually responds briefly whilst defending Politico’s leftie stances.
