[Scotsman will be Free]

The usual suspects in the republican party are whining that Palin isn’t following their script. What a shocker! More proof that there needs to be plenty more purging of rinos.

Well, those "usual suspects" in January and February will be the ones enlisting the walkers, the mail-stuffers, the phone bank workers, the ad campaigns, and so on. Everyone here revels in how she tweaks the media, as do I. But tweaking the media doesn't produce turnout on election day. It WILL produce a crowd where she it, but what about the other 99.9 percent of the state not in sight?

That requires something called a party organization. I have never, ever, seen any candidate come close to winning without such an organization. And it's not just money: money helps BUY it, but does not organize it. So I would have very much liked to have seen her actually developing a solid GOP/grass roots organization on this tour.

[Rational Thought]

I wouldn't give this article any validity. This is simply the daily Politico hit piece, today throwing a temper tantrum that Gov. Palin is doing things their way.
