IMO, all Palin had to say was this.
I joined McCain’s team in 2008 to moderate the ticket.
I cannot endorse the man for return to office based on his political views.
I cannot believe how many people think he did a favor for her. In fact, she did a massive favor for him. Without her he gets 30%, if he’s lucky.
She owed him nothing.
But, had McCain not picked Sarah for the VP spot would she have the notoriety and the political clout she has today? NO!!! Let’s be real here.
