My first post on this thread spoke of her character being such as she is going to support the man who brought her into the limelight, plus I think it's not the worst thing politically to keep her channels open with a left leaning moderate.
She is clearly a conservative, doesn't hold to a lot of McCain's opinions, and as much as I wish he would go away, he's not going to. I don't think anyone need to say they wish she hadn't said that as long as she holds to most of the conservative positions we care about.
So you’re coming down on the side of Conservatism being able to state it backs John McCain 100%.
Well, nice to know.
