Your dislike for Romney does not mean he or his former campaign staff members are behind the attacks on Palin. As near as we can tell, the anti-Palin stuff is coming from people who were part of the McCain campaign early on.

We know that the NAFTA smear came from one of her debate preppers. The three people who prepped her for the VP debate are: Randy Scheunemann, who has been one of Palin's biggest supporters and defenders in this mess; Mark Wallace, husband of incompetent McCain PR spokesman (but apparent Palin supporter) Nicolle Wallace; and Steve Schmidt.

We also have evidence that the former Romney staffers in the McCain campaign are not behind the attacks.

Soak your head, please.

Your dislike for Romney does not mean he or his former campaign staff members are behind the attacks on Palin.

Here is Romney's former press secretary on CNN:

BROWN: And, Kevin, even defending this whole controversy over the clothes, the RNC buying all the clothing, it keeps the story going, and, as Dana pointed out, one more day where it's dominating the coverage.

KEVIN MADDEN, FORMER ROMNEY CAMPAIGN NATIONAL PRESS SECRETARY: Yes. And that's an indication just how unseasoned Sarah Palin is as a national candidate.

Ordinarily, somebody who knows that this is something that you're trying to get to a subterranean level, that you don't want to dominate the narrative for yet another news cycle, would make sure that they don't mention that, and, instead, they focus with a certain rigidity on the message of the day, because that's exactly what a V.P. is supposed to do.

Madden went on to say this is why McCain should have picked someone to be VP who has been a governor "for a long time." (Um, who would that be...?)

MADDEN: Look, that is why people who have done this before, people who have run national campaigns, always tend to look at prospective V.P. candidates, and they're the ones that are nationally vetted, the ones that have been governors on the scene for a long time, the ones that have been -- gone through the scrutiny of the national press corps in Washington. And that's exactly what has happened here, is that, when you put out an unknown and you give them 70 days with which to go through a vetting process, both by voters and the national press corps, ugly things can tend to happen.

So maybe you should soak YOUR head in some facts regarding a liberal like Romney!
