Rift Cracks 'Demoralized' McCain Campaign
ABC ^ | 10/27/08 | GEORGE STEPHANOPOULOS

Posted on 10/27/2008 8:50:57 PM PDT by pissant

The McCain campaign is definitely demoralized right now. The blame game has begun.

There is no question that there is a rift between Sarah Palin's camp and that of John McCain inside the Republican campaign, sources tell ABC News.

Watch George Stephanopoulos on "Nightline" tonight at 11:35 p.m. ET on ABC

And you are seeing people within the McCain campaign starting to look to the future.

Not only Palin, but many of the McCain staffers, as well, are circulating their resumes and pointing the finger.

Whenever people in the campaign are starting to worry more about their own reputations rather than whether they're going to win in seven days, there is a significant problem.

Republicans in chaos, face chasm,loss.
Democrats unite in solidarity.
wash rinse repeat.
You’d think the DNC propagandists would come up
with something new.

McCain/Palin win mandate!
Go GOP!

Ah, George, a bit SHORT-sighted as usual, eh? :-)

I love when libs try to stir up crap when there isn’t any around, except of course what they are spewing! ;-)

The age old commie trick of unsubstantiated diversion.

Come on George quit trying to become a stand up comic.

An old Clinton staffer should know better -- kneeling is always preferred.

Anyone who believes this story is smoking a substance far deadlier than crack.

Yep, the story has been exaggerated with each re-telling too. Also, it was disgruntled Romney infiltrators who originally bitched to the press about Governor Palin not sticking to their scripts, thereby creating this whole thing.

McCain is about as exciting to listen to as paint peeling. But he still has a very good chance to win, but he MUST take the gloves off. Both he and Sarah

This stuff started with Politico back in September. It’s been one Politico’s pet memes.

I’d be frustrated if I was Palin. She was probably told they would run AGAINST Obama, not dance with him.

The MSM’s echo chamber. One starts a rumor, the rest reprint it, and then they spend a week talking about it from different angles until it becomes imprinted on the national subconscious as “fact”.

Bingo! Politico was in his hip pocket during the primaries and then switched to Obama.

I got clobbered today by a few for essentially saying the same thing where the leaks were coming from in the campaign. Sad but when it was Rudy/Fred/Huckabee people that went to McCain there were no leaks. After the Convention when he took on the others, leaks have been going on ever since.
