ALBUQUERQUE, New Mexico (CNN) -- With 10 days until Election Day, long-brewing tensions between GOP vice presidential candidate Gov. Sarah Palin and key aides to Sen. John McCain have become so intense, they are spilling out in public, sources say.

[cherry]

right........sure......whatever you say......

[IGOTMINE]

Easy. Fire the handlers and let Sarah be Sarah.

[Paladin2]

Perfect!

[nickcarraway]

He wanted a “maverick.”

[SERKIT]

Hit piece?

[HuntsvilleTxVeteran]

CNN sources say! ROFLMAO

[Auntie Toots]

The left will discredit Sarah any way they can.

[elpadre]

Go, Sarah, go!!!

[nickcarraway]

They should make Piper the campaign press secretary.

[Kirkwood]

I’m voting for Palin, not some snot-nosed aides.

[BallyBill]

Hey CNN, I'm now voting for Obama.

What a bunch of maroons.

[reaganaut1]

Isn’t “going rogue” a good description of how McCain’s attitude toward the Republican party in years when he is not running for office?

[rogue yam]

Yeah, baby! C’mon over to the wild side, girl!

[TheFourthMagi]

Sounds perfect.

[mlocher]

Hit piece to make Palin seem un-presidential.

[IllumiNaughtyByNature]

OMG! She's a ....

MAVERICK!

[kenth]

Sources, yeah... pffft.

[Chet 99]

Really? She’s still going rogue even 12 hours after this story was posted here the first time?

[TheFourthMagi]

She will be the second President Palin in a few decades.

[fantom]

Great news. If her performance today in Indiana is any indication , Mac will be thrilled . The frat boy bushies cannot control her , she is not a woman they have seen before. If it's a man he's a maverick. If it's a strong woman . she is a diva . Lets hope they flog this story all week , it's the first positive thing they have said in weeks. Although the press is to lame to pick up on it. Sarah , throw whats left of the bush stench off the bus...

[Porterville]

CNN sources? Is that Zogby or Cambell Brown?

[DainBramage]

I wouldnt blame her...he asked her to put her family through this then held her back and waited till the last debate to even fight back!

Noone is voting for him anyway.

[FlingWingFlyer]

Isn’t “rogue” the same thing as a “maverick?” I don’t know why this is news to anyone. I’ve expecting her to “go rogue” since the announcement that she was McCain’s VP choice.

[jwalsh07]

All women wear rogue when they go out. What’s the problem?

[John W]

Just back from Sarah’s rally in Fort Wayne. The message in her speech was 90% the spread the wealth around message. I didn’t hear anything I would describe as “rogue”.

[Savage Beast]

More propaganda: “Blah blah blah blah blah.”

[theDentist]

Probably because Sarahcudda wants to WIN, and McCain is still running for runner-up.

[mrsmith]

CNN criticizing her rouge...

who would be surprised?

[Jedidah]

Same folks that told us earlier this week that the McCain campaign was pulling out of Colorado.

[G.Love]

Sorry- I refuse to visit CNN’s website to read the rest of this. But let me guess. Anonymous, unnamed sources from the McCain campaign, right?

Uh huh. Very credible.

[fantom]

Excellent Flyer. She is acting like a winner , not like some of the weaklings on the net.

America.gov Jan. 9, 2008

"Despite nearly every poll predicting a Clinton loss and media reports of her campaign staff in disarray, the New York senator won the Democratic presidential primary by about two percentage points over Illinois."

[g.i.joe]

Piper’s motto: Punch the hippies!

[Army Air Corps]

More “unnamed sources”, eh? Isn’t that mediaspeak for “I made this crap up” or “I interviewed the janitor at the local GOP headquarters”?

[Wild Irish Rogue]

And the problem with going rogue is ...?

[D_Hawk]

Its a bunch of crapola!

[VOA]

Isn’t “rogue” the same thing as a “maverick?” I don’t know why
this is news to anyone. I’ve expecting her to “go rogue” since
the announcement that she was McCain’s VP choice.

"Palin Gone Rogue"

Sounds like a better title than "The Bourne Conspiracy"!

And just about the only hope McCain has of EVER sitting behind
the desk in The Oval Office.

Maybe Palin realized that saying "Sir, Unleash Me" to McCain
would have brought down a chorus of negative viewpoints from
McCain's "advisors".

As much as a middle-aged, conservative white guy can say it,
I'll say it to Sarah Palin:

"YOU GO GIRL!!!"

...and don't let "the experts" or "the consultants" tell you
any different!!!

[Jabba the Nutt]

Let's see. A VP candidate gets benched for a day or two for his gaffes (ie accidentally telling the truth). A VP candidate is kept away from the media, hasn't had a press conference in a month and doesn't take questions from reporters. A VP candidate does an interview with a local reporter and gets so creamed that the campaign bans the tv station.

So, what does the media report? That the OTHER VP candidate is going rogue. Yup, I believe CNN.

[mazda77]

She made all the difference for me in this election. I really was not interested at all in voting for McCain but I was sure as blazes voting against Obama or Hillary. As a VietNam era Vet (Stratcom Tehran 72-74) I was sorely disappointed in John’s liberal bents no matter how much of a hero he was for enduring the HH.

Sarah will carry this party to places we all thought it was going to in 94. Her Moxy and ability to speak directly to the people of this country going around the MSM bias filter will bring us to the Shining City, Part 2.

[txroadkill]

I don't know if there is any truth to this story, but, getting rid of Bush's people is a good move. They have allowed the Ratz to turn the majority of the country against him while keeping their ungrateful butts safe for 7 1/2 years. Toss ‘em, they are incompetent.

[fantom]

Ha . Beautiful me lad...

[DesertRhino]

If she is snubbing the Bush Aides,,, I love her even more. McClellan, Powell, Harriet, Pannetta, Freeh, Bremmer,Condelezza, Paulsen, etc,,,, all have Bush Administration on the resume,,,

Many of them want to feather their nests, or make Bush look good, more than they want to elect Sarah.

This is just more “Noonanism”.

Go Sarah! We Love you.

[callthemlikeyouseethem]

we need to know who these McCain “sources” are! This wouldn’t be a story without these quotes. They are the story here, imvho

[mnehring]

Would this be the same aide who predicted McCain would choose Lieberman, endorse Obama, go on tour with Hillary and Fleetwood Mack, and root for China in the Olympics?

[DannyTN]

Oh, it’s CNN, no credibility, might as well be the Globe.

[Red Steel]

The Politico and now CNN reported this LoL!

Anything coming from these two clownish news organs only have one thing on their minds is how to hurt the McCain/Palin campaign to help Obama.

[Mr. Mojo]

Good. I find it sexy when she goes rogue.

[Arizona Carolyn]

How many people were there?

[John W]

I just attended her rally in Fort Wayne. This paragraph summarizes the theme of her speech and I wouldn’t call it “rogue”:

“Our opponent is not being candid with you about his tax plans,” Palin said. “He’s hiding his real agenda of redistributing your hard-earned money. He said he’s for a tax credit, which is when the government takes more of your money to give it away to someone else according to that politician’s priorities.”
