After a turbulent week that included new disclosures about Gov. Sarah Palin and signs that Senator John McCain was struggling to strike the right tone for his campaign, Republican leaders said Saturday they were worried that Mr. McCain was heading for defeat unless he brought stability to his presidential candidacy and settled on a clear message to counter Senator Barack Obama.
Again and again, party leaders said in interviews that while they still believed that Mr. McCain could win over voters in the next 30 days, they were concerned that he and his advisers seemed to be adrift in dealing with an extraordinarily challenging political battleground and a crisis on Wall Street.
The expressions of concern came after a particularly difficult week for Mr. McCain. On Friday night, new questions arose about his choice of Ms. Palin as his running mate after an investigation by the Alaska Legislature concluded that Ms. Palin had abused her power in trying to orchestrate the firing of her former brother-in-law, a state trooper.

that is b.s.
if you read the report, on p.8, it says she was within her right to fire him.
Nice guys always finish last. There is no “honor” in politics. Trying to inject some is a dumbass idea.
...these people need to channel the spirit of Jesse Helms...
There are no questions about his choice. Stupid article.
These lowlifes have decided to just completely make stuff up now.
And it’s working. Most people, especially those who are still on the fence about whom they will be voting for, get their information from these despicable creatures.
I am definitely not a GOP wimp. When the guy in Wisconsin yelled, “I’m MAD ... I’m REAL MAD.” That could have been me. I’m mad as hell that McCain won’t fight back. If it takes Sarah to do it and drag McCain across the finish line then so be it.
made up fishwrap filled with unnamed sources telling mccain to play dead.
Dennis Miller said, “McCain is going to etiquette himself right out the door.”
I saw McCain on NBC News scolding a older woman about calling Obama an Arab. McCain should have just not answered her and took the mike. Then he said Obama was a descent Human Being and he just differs with him on the issues. I beginning to think that if Fidel Castro was a Senator. McCain would say the same thing. Granted Obama has not murdered anyone but. Obama is not a moderate, he is a communist Socialist with an idea to Social Engineer the country! I don’t want this person in the White house period!
It’s not a campaign. It’s a taxpayer-funded farewell tour.
I think we need to revisit Isaiah 54:17
“No weapon that is formed against you will prosper; And every tongue that accuses you in judgment you will condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, And their vindication is from Me,” declares the LORD.”
Message to John McCain. The media doesn’t like you anymore. They are in the tank for Obama. You can’t without going after Obama.
What idiot Republican leader besides the head of the NRCC who loves the NY Times would talk to them with this bunch of nonsense? This sounds like what he would say because earlier he said it didn’t make any difference who we elected as our nominee as long as it was close. What a guy to head the NRCC.
I think those people are Democrat plants designed to make Republicans look ignorant and violent.
Sen. McCain is still working on the swing vote until the ground swell anger against ACORN fraud and Obama hip bone connection to it becomes a household term.
Message to bone headed GOP leadership. You screwed the party up probably beyond repair. STOP GIVING ADVICE.
Oh and by the way, you can’t count either. There is 23 days until election day not 30. IDIOTS!
