You people keep blaming the wrong person. Who went to who? Did McCain ask Sarah for help or did Sarah go to McCain on her own?
I blame McCain for putting Sarah in a tight spot and I will be curious if McCain returns the favor if Sarah decides to run.
For all I know McCain knows he is unpopular with real conservatives and he is stabbing Sarah in the back once again by taking her down with him.
As for the ones who refuse to vote for her because of McCain, I suspect all it would take is Sarah changing the color of her lipstick to lose the votes of the ones who were never going to vote for her anyway.
If she can't get herself out of that tight spot - how can we expect her to get out of the tight spots she will find herself in as president? This is a serious flaw - and we need to find a candidate that can be strong in the face of tremendous challenges. McCain asking for a political favor is NOTHING compared to what the president faces every day.
Is she up to the job?
