The MSM and the libs are attempting to exploit a perceived rift in the campaign in order to divide and conquer the GOP. There have been countless newbies posting stories on this issue or dropping these false rumors on various threads in an attempt to help them along. The sad part is how many Mitt haters are carrying the MSM/Obama water and playing right into their hands.

The web piece further blamed former Romney aides for being the source of the Sarah-Palin-is-a-diva complaints....The problem with that is: Most of Romney’s inner circle is still his inner circle — some having come from the business world, others being Massachusetts people now running his PAC. Others returned to Washington, and are doing McCain surrogate work, but are far from campaign insiders. Whomever is shooting at Palin from the McCain camp is not doing Romney’s bidding.

EXACTLY! There IS no evidence that any former Romney people working for the McCain campaign are involved in any of this. There IS evidence of a rift between Sarah Palin and the handlers who were in charge of her "roll-out" though.

The gal involved in the rift with Palin is not a Romney person. Nicolle Wallace is a former Bush WH aide and a former CBS employee, and colleague of Katie Couric.

Wallace, who set up the Couric interview for Palin, has a special place in her heart for Katie it seems:

Asked to name her role models, Ms. Wallace listed former Clinton White House Press Secretary Mike McCurry, former Bush White House Under Secretary for Public Diplomacy and Public Affairs Karen Hughes, Counsel to the President Dan Bartlett, all around fun guy Karl Rove, George W. Bush 2004 re-election campaign manager Ken Mehlman, and, finally, her old boss Katie Couric, saying "talk about grace under fire."
