I don’t know about being “loyal” to him, as much as she’s a friend to him. She points out a couple of her differences with him in this tribute.
I agree with you that she has always shown him much more respect than he has shown her, but that puts her in the much higher light and IMHO, in the much higher and stronger position.
I think in a way because he helped bring her into the national stage, she feels maybe not loyalty, more like an obligation to him and that’s O.K..she can support and like whoever she pleases..I think that some people think that we have to agree with Sarah on every single person she supports, that is not the case, we can disagree with her support of McCain but I will always and i repeat will always support Sarah Palin..she is someone I admire greatly
