Sarah Palin is wreaking havoc on the campaign trail, GOP sources say

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.

Another chapter in the Politico book of discrediting all conservative women as flukes and flakes.

Don’t forget that Politico is made up mostly of ex-Washington Post reporters who quit before that failing paper had to lay them off.

FYI...Mark Levin has already tweeted this morning that the statement that Palin backed out of an interview with him is a “flat-out lie”. I’m sure Levin will be commenting further on this. Look out...LOL.

Yeah, I’ll bet the GOP will be crying in November—all the way to the bank.

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

Just shut up and do your jobs you republican functionaries. You are well paid to defeat democrats, not smear republicans.

Hey National Party!! Call me and ask me to contribute. I dare you.

“And The Most Irresponsible Journalist Award Goes to The Politico’s Jonathan Martin!
So tell me, how do you write a “news” story about an organization paying for a speaker when you don’t even know if the organization is paying for the speaker?
Ask “journalist” Jonathan Martin. He knows all about it.
You see, Jonny wrote a piss poor story the other day about how the Iowa Family Policy Center will be paying a large speaker fee if Sarah Palin comes to Iowa to keynote the IFPC’s fall funderaiser.
The only problem is that Jonny has no sources confirming that any exorbitant fee is being charged or paid.
Jonny also got some inside info from David Kochel, who was a top aide to former (and future) presidential candidate, Mitt Romney.
Hey Dave, didn’t I just read a story about how Mitt Romney tried to buy off the Iowa Christian Alliance?
I heard you helped facilitate that little scheme. And somehow you are shocked at the thought of a well-known political figure (who very likely isn’t running for president) getting paid a speaker’s fee for (gasp) a public speaking appearance? ..
and then we’ve got Tim Albrecht quoted. He was the Iowa spokesman for Romney’s 2008 caucus campaign.”
And it always seemed like, whenever the Romney people had rumors they wanted to start about other candidates,
Jonny was their go-to guy to get those rumors in writing in front of a national audience.

Carpetbagger, death panel-imposing Mitt ("I am Myth") Romney:
"You will embrace these attacks on the GOP now, throwing the Election.
Create, then support, these attacks from our northern lands,
the media, and some of mine on the Obama team who will join you.
I will gain GOP favor by condemning the attacks and
ordering them opposed from our lands in the south.
Whichever way the tide runs, we will rise and be left standing. "

“In short, her seat-of-the-pants operation can be a nightmare to deal with . . .”

Whereas scripted, controlled, hyphenated conservatism has been a pure dream.
