Sarah Palin is wreaking havoc on the campaign trail, GOP sources say
Politico ^ | October 21, 2010 | Jonathan Martin

Posted on 10/21/2010 8:00:04 AM PDT by Al B.

The election is two weeks away, but the campaign trail reviews of Sarah Palin already are in, and they aren’t pretty.

According to multiple Republican campaign sources, the former Alaska governor wreaks havoc on campaign logistics and planning. She offers little notice about her availability, refuses to do certain events, is obsessive about press coverage and sometimes backs out with as little lead time as she gave in the first place.

In short, her seat-of-the-pants operation can be a nightmare to deal with, which, in part, explains why Palin doesn’t often do individual events for GOP hopefuls.

Funny. If true (it isn’t), it would bring even more support for Our-Next-President Palin. She is unconventional. The “party” machine can’t stand her... So, what is wrong with all of that?

Ah, Jonathan Martin again. One thing that’s always guaranteed: if you see a Jonathan Martin byline, and the story revolves around Sarah, it’s always a LIE. Take it to the bank.

Thats funny. I need to get myself on Twitter and Facebook, I just am so hard headed and hate the change we are going through. I still have a land line, who knew.

“The Republican primaries HAVE BEGUN!

The questions is:

Which camp is talking to Politico?’

“Governor Romney, I should have expected to find you holding Politico’s leash. I recognized your foul stench when I was brought on board.”

Oh no, she won’t cooperate with the establishment RINOs by giving them advance intelligence they can use to attack and discredit her.

Boo-freakin-Hoo!

Yes, I can relate on FB. I have it strictly to ‘follow’ politics and very seldom socialize. Actually it’s kind of creepy (imo) to use it for that purpose. :O

Here’s what TGO has on FB:

Mark Levin: This is a flat out lie. Sarah Palin never backed out of any interview with me. Period. And John Martin, the reporter, never contacted me to ask me directly. I insist on a retraction. http://politi.co/ac12rC

I wonder if elected as President Sarah Palin WOULD do what she did in Juneau,Ak after being elected Governor?..

Which is indite and/or remove many or all of the republican turncoats and moles(in Washington D.C.) before she got started... to remove ALL democrat lawyers in the Justice Department and "VET" any and all appointees.. just before obliterating all of Barry Half-Whites Executive Orders..

AND THEN..... start with the investigations into the sedition, voter fraud, outright treason, and MAYBE revist Sandy Berger's burgulary that George Bush white washed..

NAh! thats a dream of mine.. that Sandy would do the perp walk.. in shackles.. Who knows poor old Vince Foster's murderer might get found.. Nevermind.. theres far too many recent cases to be addressed.. LIKE; Barney Frank and Chris Dodd.. and maybe Soros now theres a huge target...

Maybe she could appoint G. Gordon Liddy as FBI Director.. Whatever happened to the FBI anyway... maybe she could call them back from Cancun.. They have been AWOL for at least ten years... What is their budget?.. What do they do?.. anyway?.. The could care less about the border.. and foreign manipulation of the election process..

I just see the "Politico" by-line a lot on FR, I've never been to their site either.

We should start a parody site called Bullitico............

This is probably an important article for Palin and her people to consider. Not that she should bow to everything that is being said about her, but it remains true that, within whatever it is she wants to accomplish, it pays and is right to play nicely with others.

If it were true, it's something they would need to deal with.

From what I'm seeing (with the update fom Levin and the tweets), it's just another Palin hit piece by a lib journalist with very little truth to it.

Yes she is wreaking havoc on the campaign. She is the canidates worst nightmare when she shows up. However the havoc is wreaked on the democrates and it is a democrate nightmare we are seeing. :)
