John McCain's campaign is looking for a scapegoat. It is looking for someone to blame if McCain loses on Tuesday.
And it has decided on Sarah Palin.
In recent days, a McCain “adviser” told Dana Bash of CNN: “She is a diva. She takes no advice from anyone.”
Imagine not taking advice from the geniuses at the McCain campaign. What could Palin be thinking?
Also, a “top McCain adviser” told Mike Allen of Politico that Palin is “a whack job.”
Maybe she is. But who chose to put this “whack job” on the ticket? Wasn’t it John McCain? And wasn’t it his first presidential-level decision?
And if you are a 72-year-old presidential candidate, wouldn’t you expect that your running mate’s fitness for high office would come under a little extra scrutiny? And, therefore, wouldn’t you make your selection with care? (To say nothing about caring about the future of the nation?)
McCain didn’t seem to care that much. McCain admitted recently on national TV that he “didn’t know her well at all” before he chose Palin.
But why not? Why didn’t he get to know her better before he made his choice?
It’s not like he was rushed. McCain wrapped up the Republican nomination in early March. He didn’t announce his choice for a running mate until late August.
Wasn’t that enough time for McCain to get to know Palin? Wasn’t that enough time for his crackerjack “vetters” to investigate Palin’s strengths and weaknesses, check through records and published accounts, talk to a few people, and learn that she was not only a diva but a whack job diva?

If you're incredibly bored, (or interested in the subject,) I've got just the article for you.
All of which blabbering shows an admission against interest and proves that Roger Simon is a liar and makes stuff up.
If mcCain loses, Palin should announce at 12:01AM on 11/5 that “You betcha Rev Wright will NOT be off the table in 2012.”
The idea to blackout the one issue that would have allowed him to walk into the WH is truly bizzarre.
This is more fluff from the lying 4th estate.
Not real journalism. Is this guy an editorialist or is this supposed to be a news article? He must’ve flunked out of journalism school.
> Yet another hit piece using unnamed sources to describe tension in the McCain camp just before the election.
Somehow I am reminded of Jayson Blair. I wonder what he is doing these days? Maybe he’s fabricating some of these “stories”...
Coach Bob Knight, when one of the beat guys covering IU wrote something that included an anonymous source, went into a press conference and said, “I have it on great authority from an anonymous source that you prefer sexual relations with a goat.”
Its a POLITICO hit piece !
This DNC operative Roger Simon is a OBAMA- POLITICO operative !
This is all media nonsense. Anything to create an impression of “unrest” in the McCain camp due to the “possibility” of losing the election.
What a bunch of crap.
In the meantime, I’m sure the Obama-Biden love affair is one for the ages!
BTW, if we pitted Palin against Biden she'd win in a land slide!

Pics didn’t come through for me.
John McCain’s campaign managers have proven themselves idiots. If not for a Plumber and Palin John McCain would not even have a remote chance at this point. We are going to defeat the left at the polls.
The Media has proven themselves to be fiction writers, only.
Could be. I would not be surprised.
HA! If true, McCain is DONE in politics. Sarah is the only reason he’s even got a chance.
The ONLY reason I’m going to vote today is because of Paulin.
McCain is an idiot - albeit a much lesser idiot than Obama.
If he looses this election, I wish he (and the Repulsican party as it presently exists) would just go away. Far away.
What Simon appears to be saying is that non-Obamacorns are all a bunch of “wackjobs.” What a nice way for me to start the day and head off to work.
They can KMA.
