And if Palin doesn't run for the top slot, she will very likely be on the short list again for vice president.

Despite the source, I was willing to read the article to determine if he was truly stating his professional opinion, or was simply trying to manipulate things. I was open-minded until the line above. ANYBODY of McKinnon's stature knows that Sarah Palin CANNOT be on anybody's short VP list.

1. She's been there, that hasn't been done before (or if it has, it is the answer to a trivia question.)

2. The VP is normally a spot where you DON'T want a candidate with high negatives, especially if you think you already have the lead without the pick. The Dems have a history of focusing on VP negatives. When Palin was picked, it was part crap shoot by McCain because he was behind, and part that she wasn't controversial at the time, and it might be hard for Obama/Biden to beat up on a girl in the ordinary way. She was considered conservative, but neither fringe nor controversial until the media got through with her.

3. Most presidential candidates don't want a VP who will get more attention than the top of the bill. This isn't just ego, it's good politics. Even a low key guy like Cheney caused some problems for Bush the Younger in that regard.

If McKinnon were just a Hollywood type, I could see such a mistake in judgement made and written. As a high level consultant, he is being 100% disingenuous.

She’s an ex “BUSH” advisor. Go figure!

How many F’n RINOs exist. They are coming out of the woodwork like scared cockroaches.

McKinnon...etc.

If Palin doesn’t run, the air is going to get sucked out of the Republican Primary and Obama is going to win in a walk.

Mark my words.

We conservatives need to take the GOP back. If we fail it’s our fault. If we are sabotaged, I’m out. Let the “Establishment” cast aside the Tea Parties for their nuanced chardonnay sips.

This is the GOP’s last shot for many people...already they are failing perfectly.
