She would look like crap if she didn’t support McCain.
Politics is a business.
There are some things you HAVE to do.
There are some things you CAN’T do.
That is, if you want to be successful!
Right you are! It's politics. She's doing just what we did in '08: going with the lesser of two evils...in this case, the lesser is backing McCain and the greater is "looking like an ingrate for not backing McCain."
I have absolutely no quarrel with this decision. I voted for McCain. Didn't like it, but I had to.
From everything else we know about Palin and her positions, we can fairly assume she is just doing what she HAS to do.
Purists shouldn't follow politics, they actually degrade it.
never have run with McCain in 2008
never rose to national prominence
never attract the votes of an electoral majority.
I agree. Sarah’s support of McCain is indicative of nothing. Sarah is still Sarah.
But you are dealing with “my way or the highway” Conservatives who hang out here. Very few politicians meet their approval. They do not vote for the Republican nominee unless he or she meets their rigorous standards. They experience defeat constantly.
They do not help us at all.
