Sarah Palin joined the ticket after the Primary was over.
McCain/Palin took federal money for the general election, which means they had no private donations for that election effort.
So why do you think she needs to push for a “return of money”? The only money that came to support HER election was public financing.
Now, there you go with those silly "facts" and "logic" things. How are they supposed to square with the PDS crowd?
Then why accept private contributions to the "McCain-Palin Victory Fund"?
