Apparently so. The article reflects his insight -- as I recall, he was one of the first major figures in the GOP to sound the alarm about how McCain shot himself in the foot with a bad VP pick.
That is moronic. McCain's support before Palin was nothing, the crowds were energized by Palin. Right up until McInsane started talking up how good a Prez Obama would be.
In fact, were it not for Team Romney, it would have
been President McCain; but the backstabbing team would not permit THAT.
The Palmetto Scoop reported: "One of the first stories to hit the national airwaves was
the claim of a major internal strife between close McCain aides and the folks handling his running mate Sarah Palin."
"Im told by very good sources that this was indeed the case and that a rift had developed, but it was between Palins people and the staffers brought on from the failed presidential campaign of former Gov. Mitt Romney, not McCain aides."
"The sources said nearly 80 percent of Romneys former staff was absorbed by McCain and these individuals were responsible for what amounts to a premeditated, last-minute sabotage of Palin."
aides loyal to Romney inside the McCain campaign, said The Scoop, reportedly saw
that Palin would be a serious contender for the Republican nomination in 2012 or 2016, which made her a threat to another presidential quest by Romney.
"These staffers are now out trying to finish her off .hoping it would ingratiate themselves with Mitt Romney."

"Someone's got to say it: IS MITT ROMNEY RESPONSIBLE FOR OBAMA'S VICTORY?"
"Vanity: Team Romney Sabotaged Palin and Continuing to Do So?"
"Romney Supporters Trashing Palin"
"Romney advisors sniping at Palin?"
In the words of Cripplecreek:
These so called moderates need to hike up their big girl panties and march on over to the democrat camp and moderate them. The republicans have been moderated into a coma and these Rovetards are pinching the feeding tube. If they really cared about moderation they would direct their fire at the democrats who are happily goose stepping into full on fascism.

Go get lost in some woods Stevie, let the grown ups handle conservatism for a while.
