As distasteful as this sounds it looks like she is going to try and leverage her relationship with McCain to gain support with the GOP old boy network.

She has NO leverage with the McCain network.

Didn’t Bristol just buy a house down in that area?

You would be in a position to know, so I'll defer to your opinion. Some would argue that he owes his reelection to her, others would say she had an obligatory statement early on then McCain won the rest on his own in large measure to a flawed JD Hayworth. I don't know and wouldn't claim to.

"She has NO leverage with the McCain network."

Oh that's just BS, and you as an Arizonan know it. Palin didn't come out here stomping for the fossil for nothing. I live in the West Valley, "Luke's backyard" and I can assure you, out here there are still more JD bumper stickers than Palin's endorsee, John McCain. We have long memories out here and Palin's support of the open borders candidate over JD will not be forgotten. Believe me when I tell ya.
