Did McCain aides expect Gov. Palin to do ALL of the heavy lifting? She energized the base for him. Getting Dems, independents and RINOs was supposed to be McCain’s job.
Has anyone considered that NONE of the aides said anything, and that the press is just making it up?
However, I do think in the beginning Sarah did appeal to many, many of the PUMAs, Rinos, and independents...then the lying-liberal-DNC-water-carrying-MSM started their hatchet job on her.
