Not true. Her actions as city council member, mayor, member of the AK Oil and Gas Commission, Alaska Governor, and in her personal life prove otherwise.
Though, in my opinion, her judgment in regard to supporting McCain is egregiously flawed.
Palin has insisted, and others, even Glenn Beck, have agreed, that McCain is an "honorable man".
If so, why would he not immediately phone Palin and say, "I am aware of all the criticism you're receiving, especially that from people who support you. I cannot in good conscience and as a gentleman stand by and do nothing. Sarah, any promise you've made to me consider fulfilled. You needn't campaign for me, you need to support the person you deem best qualified to represent Arizona in the US Senate. If that person is Hayworth, so be it. Thank you for all you've done, and best of luck to you, Todd and the children.
Good bye, my friend."
