Sarah Palin's New Right-Hand Man: Meet Michael Glassner
ABC News by way of C4P ^ | Feb. 18, 2011 | MICHAEL FALCONE

Posted on 02/18/2011 5:52:09 PM PST by dalight

At a speaking appearance in Long Island, New York on Thursday Palin said she "hired a chief of staff because, to tell you the truth, Todd's getting kind of tired of doing it all for me." And her comment likely rings true for just about anyone who has seen the ad hoc nature of her political operation.

It now falls on the shoulders of Glassner, a veteran of Sen. John McCain's 2008 presidential campaign and a long-time aide to former Sen. Bob Dole, to professionalize Team Palin.

Later for her. What a mistake. Dole and McLame? Enough to make me go back to Libertarian. In fact I probably will after the Republicans nominate Jeb Bush.

Read the article and then see if you have this same opinion. The McCain people hated him and immediately took him off of the road and put him behind a desk because he was making Palin happy and look good. A grave sin in the eyes of McCain's top people who seemed determined to undermine Palin almost from day one.

In this article, it says that Todd put this guy's name forward because of the bond they had formed during the campaign. Also, if you read, this guy is loyal to a fault and happy to efficiently get things done in the background. He is an insider with the exact mentality to create a powerful and effective organization for Palin. This was a great choice.

Glassner was not the campaign manager for either Dole or McCain, so what’s your point?

Oh spit.

Its a fact that folks around here tend to jerk their knees and not even bother to find out the facts. This guy is perfect. Palin is the strategist, she doesn't need a jerk horses butt like Steve Schmidt to tell her what to do. She needs an effective organization to get things done. And a manager she can trust. This is what this guy is. Read the article and then judge.

She has got to become more careful with her articulation.

I don't have a clue what this means. Read the article then talk if you have something to say.

Yes and his campaign was not very effective. Glassner knows how mcCain felt about Palin and if he and McPain are close he will leak to him and McCain will run to the press.

That’s because they were actually Romney people who just happened to be working for McCain/Palin since Myth had dropped out. They were looking out for their boy in 2012.

Nice fit that he's known for having a "flying under the radar" sub-rosa style. Perfect, in fact. He's got the chops, and she trusts him. Good enough for me.

Run, Sarah.

Why because he worked for Dole and, of all people, McCain? Two of the biggest RINOs in GOP history?

Man, if anyone else hired a guy with this resume the Palinbots would be screaming their heads off, claiming this was just another example of incompetence/RINOism.

But Sarah gets a pass?
