John McCain says Sarah Palin didn't hurt his presidential bid and he attributes anonymous criticism aimed at her following their loss last week to typical campaign sniping.
--snip--
The Arizona senator tells Jay Leno on "The Tonight Show" the Republican ticket faced a tough challenge from the start but disputed that a different vice presidential pick would have changed the outcome.
He had only kind words for the Alaska governor and her family. But he didn't directly address criticism from unidentified McCain operatives ...

Your assumption that McCain’s people were behind this is false.
Therefore, your outrage is misplaced.
So what. Prove me wrong.
If he had turned out to be a Truman, we’d all have been better for it... not sure he was even a Teddy R.. definitely not a bull moose ;-)
Every lie and rumor has been denied and/or debunked.
Yep. He’s been bitter towards Bush for 8 years. Now he’ll transfer that to Sarah. I think deep down he does blame her in some way.
You should, LOL. It's SO funny.
I'm trying to figure out how to convertly steal it from you and work it into my tag line. Don't tell anyone.

You know, it isn’t a hoax that all the ugly things said about her was all over the tube. THAT’S when McCain should have come out and spoken against the nasty talk.
You don’t have to steal it. Feel free to use it.
Good comment!
We all know this is McCains MO
And talk about poetic justice, the very, uncontitutional bill he and Fiengold passed doomed him.
Precisely.
There's no question the McCain/Palin people discussed the best way to handle this assault.
I always thought she should be the one out front , in that it was her who was besmirched.
And I'm glad she did so.
Gee, four days ago, the ALL that mattered.
I get the “duped” part, such as it is:
I don’t get how O’s people could have been behind it. Cameron surely knows who’s on McCain’s staff. I don’t see the link you’re making to the Obama campaign.
Loose lips, and big egos sink ships. Liberal egos are huge.
McCain should have punished the loose lips as he would have as a Navy officer and a gentleman.
Obama came out of a meeting and leaked to a reporter that Bush is a RASCIST because he applied hand sanitizer after shaking Obama’s hand.
I suppose you believed that one, too.
Indeed, but Cameron got his information not from him but from McCain insiders. This was verified by John Gibson in an email to one of our FR members. I'll hunt up a link to the FR post and get back to you.
Your all talk and no proof. And watch your tone with me FRiend
Probably the same “insider” who leaked the Bush DUI story to “Campaign” Carl.
Carl CLAIMS they were “insiders”. Yeah, sure.
All I’m saying is that after all she did for him, the least he could do for her is defend her. Whether the accusations came from the left or the right.
