I think that was certainly true toward the end. Possibly not earlier, although who knows?
Sarah speculates that when it became obvious that McCain was going to lose, a number of operators were preparing to jump ship, and at that point deliberately undermined him.
I don’t know. Stupid, or deliberate sabotage? The decision to go with two enemy interviewers for Sarah, and to give them the chance to cut and edit the sessions before going on the air with them, was clearly a mistake. Sarah knew it, but they went ahead anyway. It may have been that woman who wanted to do Couric a favor and didn’t give a damn about anything else—but why did her bosses approve it? Everyone here at FR KNEW that it was a mistake, even before the interviews took place. It wouldn’t take a rocket scientist, you’d think.
Still, it could be simply the Peter Principle at work—people being promoted beyond their abilities because of mutual back-scratching. It seems as if the upper ranks of the Republican apparat are filled with such people—just plain dumb and incompetent, since there’s surely more gravy to pass around if you win, even if you don’t give a damn about the country or your candidate.
All your points are plausible. I was thinking about toward the end it seemed they wanted Obama to win. But we the people have a right to know. The failure to inform the people about Preacher Wright and black liberation theology
and other despicle matters was not fair to the people.
I keep asking myself, what do these “insiders” know about Sarah Palin that I don’t???? Judging from the alacrity and viciousness of the attacks by the leftist media whores, I would say we have a downright rock-solid “winner” on our hands. So, c’mon you astute “insiders”, spill it or STFU. My “Sarah” pen is giving my fingers an awful “itch” - unlike the “limp” feeling I have long had from my “rnc” pen.
