I'm sure many Republicans would go right along with the Media template if she didn't support McCain, whether or not they would have supported him.
Like it or not, Sarah is shackled to McCain, because without him she would just be an unimportant Republican Governor in a scarcely populated State.
My answer to this is the following:
A man was dating a woman and ends up marrying her. The marriage doesn’t last. After the man gets divorced he learns that his wife was a prostitute before he met her and even after they were married.
Two years later his ex-wife calls him and wants him to write a letter supporting her for a Top Secret clearance. She knows that the people who repect him will not look too closely at her with his letter, even though she is still a prostitute.
Should he write the letter?
Would it indicate to others how he is a good man?
Of course not.
If Sarah wanted me to know she had good moral character she would have told McNuts that if he psuhed other republicans to vote for Bush’s socialist bailout bill she would resign from the ticket.
She is no different than McCain.
The friend of my enemy is my enemy.
