I still think she did the right thing. She gave token support. She’s a classy lady.
The truth is he did something for her. Probably the best thing he’s ever done politically. He put her on the main stage.
Everything else she’s done on her own. Not supporting him would have looked bad and, really, would have been bad.
It’s mostly forgotten now, anyway, except for a few people holding the grudge.
-Palin never went back to stump for McCain after the first series.
-She didn't make any additional media spots for him.
-(Rumor) After the first debate with Hayworth, McCain called Palin to stump for him. She politely declined citing a 'busy summer schedule'.
-Meghan McCain stayed absolutely silent about Palin until her daddy won the primary.
And now, we get all these 'non-confidence' stories from the McCain's.
Make no mistake: Sarah fulfilled her 'obligation'. McCain/Palin? Yeah, it's over. Thank God.
Token my ass. She appeared with McCain several times on the campaign trail and praised him effusively. She stabbed the real conservative in the race, JD Hayworth, in the back. Now she is getting her just reward.
Multiple appearances and radio ads is more than token support. Token support I’d have been much happier with, though I still support her. If we get back the Senate it will be partly to her credit.
