Top McCain aide: We might have stripped Palin of office (Palinoia at a Defcon One level!)
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution ^ | October 7, 2011 | Jay Bookman

Nicolle Wallace, White House communications director under President George W. Bush and senior adviser to John McCain, has begun to talk openly about the campaign’s problems with Sarah Palin.

I’m not interested here in rehashing the shortcomings of the former Alaska governor. None of that’s relevant any more, because I doubt she’ll ever again seek elected office. However, I do want to point out a remarkable bit of information that Wallace dropped into a recent Time interview:

“There certainly were discussions — not for long because of the arc the campaign took — but certainly there were discussions about whether, if they were to win, it would be appropriate for her to be sworn in.”

Let’s think about that for a minute, shall we, because that’s one for the history books. Within the upper echelons of the McCain campaign, they talked about stripping the vice presidency from Palin AFTER they had used her to win?(continued)

Ouch. But that seems to be pretty close to the truth. If they went to the wall with a regular POW, can you imagine what they did to CINCPAC’s son?

Wallace was the air-headed blonde bimbo who was the “mastermind” behind purchasing the $130,000 wardrobe that Palin caught hell for. I won't dignify Nicolle Wallace (or demean the ladies of the evening) by calling her a whore.

Both Wallace and McCain voted for Obama, I have no doubt in my mind that is true..Nicole Wallace is the scum of the earth

It is why I try not to judge him too harshly.

I am not going to condemn someone who was broken by what would surely break me too, but I am not going to ignore the fact that he was deliberately broken and maliciously reconditioned to his captors’ preferences.

"Interesting though; I wonder if this info was supposed to have been published AFTER Sarah declared her candidacy, but it got sent in for publication before Sarah decided against running. This is they type of thing they'd have wanted discussed on all the talk shows while Sarah was running so that they could attempt to deep-six her campaign."

Yes. Exactly. Lame MSM kabuki. Palin not running defused the news cycle at the end of the week. But it's like, 'Well, Ms. Wallace, since you're here, be preposterous anyway..."

And to those media tapeworms lurking: remember, once is happenstance (Nov 2010), twice is circumstance (special elections since) and third time is enemy action (what will your excuse be then?)

And yet Sean Hanraty continues to invite this sick bitch on his show at least once a month, flirts with her, and sends his regards to her father! WTF is wrong with him?

Do you realize just how stupid you sound (McCain supporters)? You and your subjects have been rejected by the public and continue to be rejected but you continue to put down anybody else that was involved. It matters little about who you despise, it does matter about who you are...

Why would we be interested in anything that these two dream up long after Bush left office and McCain lost?

Very possible speculation. These pigs make sport of their onesidedness.

what does this Wallace character do for a living now?

Is she still considered a Republican?

Is she involved in any way or with any one in the 2012 race?

Wallace has no credibility at all. She is the woman who absolutely hated Sarah from the start and did her best to sabotage Sarah during the entire campaign.

It was Wallace who insisted that Sarah not do interviews on FOX. She is also the one who insisted Sarah do the interview with Katie Couric, Wallace’s old boss.

It was also Wallace who started the spite campaign against Sarah about the clothing purchases after McCain lost the election.

How in the world would they go about negating the electoral college?

Simple: faithless electors. They'd just convince them to vote for someone other than Sarah Palin as VP when the college met.

It would've been utter chaos if they'd done it. I'm shocked such a thing was ever considered.
