I just attended her rally in Fort Wayne. This paragraph summarizes the theme of her speech and I wouldn’t call it “rogue”:
“Our opponent is not being candid with you about his tax plans,” Palin said. “He’s hiding his real agenda of redistributing your hard-earned money. He said he’s for a tax credit, which is when the government takes more of your money to give it away to someone else according to that politician’s priorities.”
She wants to win and she’s doing her best to get there.
McCain will be satisfied with being a gracious loser.
