It was McCain that first gave Sarah a national stage so she could show off her stuff.
Sarah, in turned, lent her star power to getting McLame reelected.
I’d say they are even steven.
Think about this. What else could McLame say? Sarah sucks? After he picked her to VPOTUS?
Don’t you think McCain picked Palin as his running mate against his own wishes? Dollars to donuts he wanted Lieberman. But everyone around him told him it would sink his campaign. Just a guess on my part.
