Crony capitalism? How about this?

McCain makes her a household name by picking her as his running mate. She then makes millions selling books and when it comes time for payback, she supports McCain over Tea Party Favorite JD Hayworth.

No Sarah Palin can't be bought.

That's what turned me off on her.

That’s not crony capitalism! Crony capitalism is the incestuous relationship between business and government. How does Palin’s writing/selling books and campaigning for McCain equate with crony capitalism? It would only work if her book publisher got special access to the current Alaskan governor because of Palin’s “lobbying” for them or they got special access to McCain for the same thing. Certainly you can object to her campaigning for McCain but it’s not crony capitalism.

JD was a terrible candidate,and you know that. He alienated the AZ constituency with his anti illegal/anti Hispanic diatribes on talk radio,then he got into money problems. We loved to see JD on Fox and we loved to hear his rantings,but that does not work if you want to win elections. He had lost his last CD election.

We knew that Mccain would win,and without him we would have lost that seat. I wish McCain would retire,but that won't happen.

Sarah backed McCain long before JD got in the race.
