Good question. Can she? Hopefully not.

[A. Morgan]

No

[Da Coyote]

1) She might.
2) She shouldn’t.

Let McKennedy sink to the mediocre idiot depths to which he so richly deserves.

[DogBarkTree]

Maybe she can but it will cost her. Is he worth it, Sarah? Are you listening?

[Kansas58]

In the normal course of politics, personal endorsements count for very, very little.

This is an odd year, and an odd pair of politicians.

However, IMHO, it would RUIN Sarah if she did NOT help McCain.

She HAS to do this, or she, herself, will look petty and small.

[muawiyah]

Republican Moderates?

NO SUCH CRITTER.

You are either wholly Republican or you're not.

[anton]

She’s not going to make a dent in McKook’s problem. This is AZ, they know McKook better than anyone. She can’t make a silk purse out of a sow’s ear.

[DManA]

Does this answer your question?

McCain continues to push cap&tax

She is not THE leader of the tea party movement. She is a favorite of the movement, but not the leader or even a leader. There is no overall leader. Just hundreds of more or less loosely allied groups scattered all across the nation, each with its own group of leaders, and millions of very pissed off private citizens. It’s totally grassroots.

[Candor7]

No and No!

McCain owns his own defeat at the hands of Obama. He wimped when he should have whaled Obama.

Time to go Juan!

[Berlin_Freeper]

Palin will probably do the minimum to avoid looking bad if she does nothing. Then when McCain loses she should do some type of celebrating to rub it in.

[TribalPrincess2U]

NO. He’s a goner. But it’s okay. It shows her loyalty.

[Semper Mark]

Should she?

No.

Support the best candidate, Sarah. You don't owe McCain anything.

Go J.D.!

[Truth is a Weapon]

This will be a good lesson for her even if it is close. Conservatives are not personality cultists. Our loyalty is rather tenuous. We are very loyal to those who are loyal to conservative principles. Don’t take our loyalty for granted.

Hopefully, McCain will lose to Hayworth in spite of her efforts and she will learn from the experience.

[afnamvet]

No one can save his political life except John McCain. Endorsements provided for a damaged product are futile.

[Robbin]

No she can’t save him.

Yes, she should put forth some effort. Loyalty is an important attribute.

I would think much less of her if she didn’t.

[Usagi_yo]

Yes, it's political strategy. McCain is going to win, no doubt. I don't like McCain, but by supporting him now in an inevitable situation, Palin all but guarantees McCain's support for her Presidential ambitions, and has the side effect of nullifying the criticism brought by McCain's presidential election team.

Score 1 for Palin on good strategic thinking.

U.Y

[AdaGray]

I think she should make one token appearance and then beg off any more.

[Ouderkirk]

No, and no.

She’s paid her bill to McCain and it’s time for him to face the music for all his bi-partisanship.

[TexasCajun]

Sarah will be in town this coming weekend and Monday, the 8th.

I'll talk to her and let her know our thoughts, maybe take her fishing.
