Declaring that she was honored and proud to run with him, former Alaska governor Sarah Palin pushed back hard Wednesday against a report that she had disrespected Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) by blacking out his name on a sun visor she wore on vacation.
The website TMZ accused Palin of a frontal attack on Sen. John McCain during a Hawaii vacation this week: Sarah chose to wear a visor from her campaign -- a visor that was emblazoned with the former presidential candidate's name ... that is, until Palin redacted McCain's name with a black marker.
But Palin said in a statement to POLITICO that she was just trying to be incognito -- to go unrecognized and shield her children and husband, Todd, from paparazzi.
The hotel where she was staying had to chase away five photographers, a friend said.
Palin said in the statement to POLITICO: I am so sorry if people took this silly incident the wrong way. I adore John McCain, support him 100 percent and will do everything I can to support his reelection. As everyone knows, I was honored and proud to run with him. And Todd and I were with him in D.C. just a week ago. So much for trying to be incognito."
The Palins were taking a break from a three-and-a-half-week book tour for her million-copy-selling memoir, Going Rogue: An American Life. Palin has signed more than 59,000 books -- an average of 1,750 per stop -- and has traveled more than 19,000 miles by plane and bus. She has spent 115 hours -- or 4.8 days -- signing books in 33 cities in 25 states. Her stops have included five military bases.

My thoughts exactly. GWB must have assumed conservatives were not popular so he wanted to appeal to Conservatives and non-conservatives alike in 2000. This is because Clinton had branded republicans as uncaring. It was a political move, as was most of the spending.
“Who are the conservatives without common sense” she should be asked. I would say more than a few on this thread, except you and me LOL
What I know re Sarah and McCain is this:
1. SarahPAC donated $5000 to McCain's campaign, as well as donated to to Lindsey Graham's and Orin Hatch's campaigns.
2. McCain's top campaign security and foreign policy adviser Randy Scheunemann, is also currently advising Palin
3. Sarah Palin has said: "I adore John McCain, support him 100 percent and will do everything I can to support his reelection....John was a maverick, and he said he had picked me because in many ways Im wired the same. I was proud of the senator. He didnt go with a conventional, safer pick. John believed in change, the power of independent and committed individuals, the power of women.
To me that means one of the following which only time will tell:
1. John McCain is grooming Sarah Palin, because as she has said, "we're the same".
2. Sarah is a naive idiot, whose loyalty to an evil man could cost us all.
3. Sarah is using John McCain to get where she wants to be, and who is a politician just playing the game until she can pull the strings herself.
I still haven't decided which of those is the case with complete certainty. But these are things that would be foolish to ignore, because it is not something that Sarah is hiding or that is easily "misconstrued" -- it's all out there for anyone to hear if they are willing to listen to her.

John McCain’s friend.
Could it be she is just showing appreciation for him selecting her and sticking by her publically?
And , could it be she is not really serious? What do we know about her on national issues except she opposes Obama(which all republicans do now) ?
Ironic she opposes Cap and Trade with Obama, but on McCain ticket was for it(which she had to be or quit) ? Stuff like this doesnt thrill me about her.
