His response was rational. No matter how ugly the person is, you have to dance with the person who brought you to the dance.

If Palin campaigns for McCain with the same intensity(sic) that he campaigned for President, it will help JD.

I’m more upset about Fred Thompson’s endorsement.

Santorum put party over principle. And he paid for it.

Too bad time it running out and now you are either part of the solution or part of the problem. It is time to be on the correct side and McCain is not there. We are broke and the end of our country is near.

“She will not work within the status quo if she becomes President.”

I’m glad you’re that claivoyant. I have my doubts. So, sue me for questioning politicians. :)

Who was the Freeper that asked Rush to respond to this question? I have heard him on before. I think he’s from Florida.

I don't think he fessed up but he has called in before. Many people recognize the accent.

McPain has also made disparaging remarks about Palin.

Source, please.

Dance with the one that brung ya. If it weren’t for McCain, Palin would be nowhere right now. It would show a lack of character for Palin to give McCain a very public slap-in-the-face for ideological reasons. Loyalty is a virtue.

I’m sure she’d rather Hayworth win — just without her having backstabbed the individual most responsible for her vault onto the national political scene.

JD said he would endorse McCain if he loses the primary, does that mean that JD is also a RINO and we shouldn’t support him?

Note to Palin: Remember Santorum

Palin is not an elected official.

Thank you! Very well put. If only thinking caps came with directions maybe you wouldn’t have such nonsense to respond to...

It would cost her more if she did not endorse him. It would mean she tried to get a man elected President who should not be in the Senate. That would not speak well of her judgment.

Plus it would expose her as a disloyal ingrate which would trouble me a lot more, when evaluating her as Presidential material, than a single senate seat.

“If it weren’t for McCain, Palin would be nowhere right now.”

You know, I hear that alot, but I’m not so sure that’s true. There would be nothing wrong in biding your time and not linking yourself up to a RINO who supports amnesty, etc. Sarah could have said “no” and bided her time, and then ran when she finished being governor of Alaska. It would have been a fresh start without the RINO baggage of McCain.

..and don't think for a moment that all the media would be all over that one- not to mention Gibbs.

Rush did not defend Palin, he explained why she endorced McCain...Like it or not.

I was wondering when someone was going to point this out.

Sort of looks like Rush is back to carrying the water for the Grand OLD Party and its status quo.

No, he's just recognizing reality. Better for Sarah to support McCain and take the hit up front than to ditch him and get sidetracked by the media firestorm. And lose clout within the GOP.

Rush has only echoed what many of us rational Sarah supporters have been saying all along.
