All I see is Madden stating fact, in the interview with Brown. Palin was a political tyro (on the national level) and therefore "unseasoned" by definition and she did make some terribly rookie mistakes in that campaign.

It is also a simple truth that vetting is usually done over a longer period than McCain's campaign took with Sarah.

Picking Sarah was a political ploy for the McCain Campaign. She was picked primarily to give some life to his run for the White House. Fortunately she turned out to be a net positive to the campaign and it probably the reason he did as well as he did, but had she been as prepared as she would be today, she might have put him over the top.

All the rest of what you posted is hearsay . . . not credible . . . not sourced. The Red State article comes closest to credibility as the author claims to have spoken to several people at the time, but it is still nothing but rumor.

Madden may indeed have been everything you claim, but the evidence is very thin. Besides that, the whole topic is irrelevant. I don't care what he did in the past, I care whether he is a competent campaign strategist. Sarah Palin is irrelevant to the current race. She isn't running.

I'll reserve my judgment until I have seen the results of this move--I don't start out from a position of irrational Romney-hatred.

People are free to discuss what they want, of course. But, at this point, considering that our ONLY choice is Romney...What purpose does this stuff serve?

The country is circling the drain. If Obama gets re-elected he is going to load the Supreme Court. I imagine that stellar legal mind Eric Holder will get thrown a cookie for taking a lot of heat for Fast and Furious and get a spot. How does that sound?

Romney needs somebody pretty good to help give him a “voice” that will resonate with voters. I frankly don't care who it is. Romney needs to broaden his message and call out Obama on who he REALLY is, and what he is REALLY doing to the country. It can't just continue to be a one note samba on the crappy economy.

Romney has got to start addressing Mr. Obama’s radical background and his desire to destroy the country “as founded” in order to create his Leftist version of utopia.

He needs a tough S.O.B. to help him with the message.

Puh-leeeze! Team Romney's backstabbing was well documented on the Palin threads back in 2008 and 2009. The Romneyites attempts at either willful ignorance or outright revision of history are laughable when we've got literally hundreds, if not thousands of posts on file, discussing what was going on at the time. We will NOT forget!
