To repudiate Palin two years after for supporting McCain's Senatorial campaign doesn't speak well of the loyalty, cohesiveness and strength of the Republican ‘brand’.
Much of the blame goes to McCain, who seems a bit to keep his powder dry for friendly fire, and was a poor choice and a lousy campaigner.... but sheesh.
Well, he’s running again for a 6-year Senate term. Given that he had been talking about wanting to be President for only 4 years because of his age, people would have understood if he said he was retiring now.
I agree with you about the Republican "brand", but it has been damaged by Palin who stated quite vocally that she would only campaign for "common sense conservatives" and then comes out swinging for McCain. She either is repudiating her own statement or she really thinks McCain is a "common sense conservative". She has not herself clearly stated which one is true, although the "bots" swear they know that she really doesn't support McCain in her heart but is backing him only because she "owes" him.
Isn't this what we're trying to get rid of, politicians supporting a position because they "owe" someone? Isn't this what Obama is doing, getting politicians to give their support because they "owe" Obama for favors given?
Palin, like everyone else, should stand by her convictions, not who she "owes".
Oh, yeah. Let's keep doing what we have been doing - supporting RINO's. Look how well it's worked so far.

What does McCain’s history of disloyalty, weakness and stabs-in-the-back say about the “Republican Brand”?
McCain is a traitor to his party and, frankly, his country.
