Peggy Noonan is not to be trusted. She is too in love with New York and that intellectual environment. However her last paragraph is great and should be taken to heart by McCain. As with Princess Diana thrown into Buckingham Castle and mauled by the high and mighty homosexual male staff and minions around the queen, Sarah will suffer unless she is protected from the minions of John McCain who see themselves as more important that any “VP” in waiting. They are not easy to spot this type of person close to a powerful person and drunk with that power. McCain should personally put her in the hands of someone who will stay by her side and do the right thing for her in the moment - Fred Thompson would be great for this next two weeks or so and then just hire Fred to call her and check in with her twice a day and someone as a personal assistant to make sure she has a cone of protection. She is a jewel that needs protection until he can shine. People are nasty in the world of politics and I am sure John McCain’s castle has some orcs in there waiting to carve Sarah up too.

John McCain would not leave his comrades to waste away in Hanoi. There is no way he will allow Sarah Palin to twist in the wind. He sees her as a comrade. The political animal may cast her aside. a coward might keep her only to avoid the accountability for the choice. A man of honor will fight to defend his ideas and actions and to defend the target of abuse.

With honor anything is possible in a leader. Without honor only chaos, defeat and disillusionment are possible. If we know only one thing about John McCain it is that his sense of honor is greater than his sense of self preservation. He will defend Sarah Palin and America will be the better for it.
