Who's the Palin Leaker from the McCain Campaign?
National Review ^ | 2009-07-01 | Mark Hemingway

The publication of a Vanity Fair profile of Sarah Palin appears to have opened old wounds in the McCain campaign. At issue is a question that was never resolved following McCain’s loss in November: Who in the McCain campaign was secretly trashing Sarah Palin to the press?

Photos like that do nothing to make her seem like a legitimate 2012 contender.

Last time it was all fictitious. The part where she is supposed to have said “Africa is a country” was attributed to a McCain staffer but, in fact, was made up.

It looks like it may be photoshopped.

Obama running around shirtless on the beach didn’t hurt his contender status any. Why should a slightly cheesecake picture of Sarah Palin?

What is she doing with that American Flag...I wish that was not in the picture.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

That looks suspiciously like a photoshop job. Something about the face just doesn’t go with everything else.

When the initial backstabbing happened right after the election, a lot of attention here was focused on Mark & Nicolle Wallace. Looks like first instincts may have been the correct ones.

Isn't it interesting that Romney is making the rounds on TV today including on Bret Baier's show on Fox at 6 PM EDT. I hear he may comment on his presidential aspirations for 2012.

Just a coincidence, right? :)

Scrap my last post---looks like it was a different Mark Wallace who served on Romney's Texas Finance Committee:

Mark A. Wallace

Mark Wallace Contribution to Romney

I thought we had just bagged Mr. Nicolle Wallace!

Romney’s blowing it big time. He’ll never get the nomination for president and he might actually make a decent cabinet member, but his backstabbing is going to come back and bite him.

As for Mark and Nicolle, any campaign that hires them will not get my vote or my money.

It’s entirely possible there are no leakers or “unnamed sources”. Nothing makes Democrats happier than when Republicans are tearing each other apart.

My guess? No one. The presstitutes are making it up.

McCain is a Rino who ran a horrible campaign. He has no defined ideology therefore his campaign was filled with a bunch of weasels. There were people all across the political spectrum in there. No surprise that someone as well defined (although somewhat raw) as Sarah Palin would draw fire from the closet liberals in the campaign.

His campaign did Sarah a real injustice. They aided and abetted the Demo hate machine.

We have to get a conservative at the top of the ticket next time. No more Rino’s for me. I will pick a conservative and stay with him all through the primaries. If another Rino gets the nomination, I will still vote for him or her against the second-term commie but my support will be unenthusiastic. I expect a Rino will lose again.

I really don't care who leaked what! Sarah can take care of herself and she outshines all of them!

I am headed to Washington, DC to the National Tea Party and our National Freeper Convention from 9/11-9/13! Then I will work like crazy to make sure every RINO is out of Congress come 2010! :)

Somebody who will never work again, I hope.
