First, I don’t dislike Sarah Palin so you are just flat-out wrong on that point. In fact I just pre-ordered her book today for a Christmas present.

The rest of your post is a well disguised and “polite” ad hominem.

I have no fondness for RINOs - if by RINO you mean Snowe, Collins, Schwarzenegger, Graham, the former Arlen Specter, Bloomberg, and the likes. McCain would be the exception (although you call him a RINO, I don’t). I supported him with notable reservations. What I found most compelling however was his American story, not his specific politics (which I both agreed and disagreed with). Incidentally I am pretty much indifferent to McCain’s senate re-election bid.

But if by RINO you mean Huckabee and Romney then I don’t agree. While I am somewhat skeptical of them both, I have a favorable opinion of them overall and would be open to supporting their respective bids if certain criteria were met. Right now I have no official horse in the race. I don’t dislike Palin but she doesn’t even make the qualifying bar.

Excuse me? You started the McCain List as soon as the Primary started.

“But if by RINO you mean Huckabee and Romney then I don’t agree.”

Right, well I remember when you were shilling for RINO McCain you were calling Romney liberal.

Back to McCain...the man showed nothing but contempt for conservatives throughout his career, whether kissing ass of the media or writing bills with the Democrats libs. If Palin would not have run with him, he never would have had the small opportunity to pull ahead. Of course the economy ended any chance, but prior to that McCain’s campaign was DOA...when Palin was picked, the conservatives held their nose to beat Obama.
