Wow.

Sarah Palin is a relative newcomer and was untested on the national scene. This meant she was, in the minds of most Americans, a blank page which could easily be defined and written upon by vicious bloggers, and easily demeaned by leftist media types. The guy probably pushed for McCain to pick her for VP... knowing all of that very well.

What he didn't know is just how effective she would be to wake up the conservative base, which had largely been sleeping. This must have been terribly alarming... somebody had to push the panic button. The first guy that pushed it was Chuck Schumer... openly advocating an actual bank run. The Fannie Mae inspired financial crisis didn't happen overnight... it was a problem that built up over several years. Why did it have to bust right before an election? Why all the alarmist crying foul all of a sudden? I can be very cynical, but I think this was the second panic button pushed... the crisis had to happen NOW, before the election. Palin's appearance at the RNC convention was electric and McCain regained the lead in polls.

That didn't mean McCain was necessarily going to win.. but it was enough to threaten the Congressional elections. That had to be stopped.

Sarah wont be ready in four years. The media will eat her up and spit her out ....again.

I agree with Coulter, she needs to stay in Alaska and be a good governor, then maybe the senate then possibly a run as president.

It was obvious that she wasnt prepared for the the big leagues. That doesnt mean she isnt a good conservative and great candidate for office, just not the oval office in 2012

Well the key is she will be choosing HER people, in this instance she had to take what McLame handed her.

She did it with John McCain’s knowledge and permission. He was the head of the ticket. He knew who the handlers were and what they were doing. Don’t blame the tool. Blame the hand that wields it. Didn’t any of you watch McCain standing up rooting for Hillary Clinton’s confirmation yesterday? After his dinner with Obama?

Would have posted this reply sooner however I just got up to retrieve a message on my answering machine. It showed “RPOF”—Republican Party of Florida. I just deleted it. I’ve been a registered Republican since 1972. It’s over.

So which portion of the Federal Code criminalizes “making someone look bad”?

Did we have an election? Or was it a total sham?

"Nicolle Wallace served as a senior advisor to the McCain-Palin campaign from May to November 2008. Prior to joining the McCain campaign, she worked as a political analyst at CBS News.

She served President George W. Bush as an assistant to the president and director of communications for the White House from January 2005 - June 2006 and as communications director for President Bush's 2004 re-election campaign."
