Palin's 'going rogue,' McCain aide says

[ulysses]

:rofl:

With 10 days until Election Day, long-brewing tensions between GOP vice presidential candidate Gov. Sarah Palin and key aides to Sen. John McCain have become so intense, they are spilling out in public, sources say.

Several McCain advisers have suggested to CNN that they have become increasingly frustrated with what one aide described as Palin "going rogue.

It's all about the image, after all.

[Captiosus]

8. In related news...

Rogue universally condemns being associated with Alaska Governor Sarah Palin.

"While I may drain the power out of someone I touch," Rogue explained, "Palin has the possibility of draining all of the life and democracy out of the United States of America."

Rogue concluded by respectfully asking the McCain campaign to stop attempting to link the two women.

13. "Her lack of fundamental understanding of some key issues was dramatic" . . .

"Her lack of fundamental understanding of some key issues was dramatic," said another McCain source with direct knowledge of the process to prepare Palin after she was picked. The source said it was probably the "hardest" to get her "up to speed than any candidate in history."

Finally someone from the inside being honest about this? 'bout time.

It would be nice to see this get some airplay. I think it goes right to the heart of the problem with Palin. She's completely naive, out of her class, and out of her element.

They chose someone who'd received one free lesson at an Arthur Murray school and sent her out break dancing on Soul Train.

14. The Fruit Fly/Autism comment yesterday makes me wonder

if the McCain campaign is just tone-deaf in their speechmaking, or if they're trying to sabotage her by writing ignorant statements that they know she won't be able to catch?

Richard Wolffe couldn't contain his disdain for her ignorance on that point on KO last night. With these 'rogue' leaks coming out, it wouldn't be a shock.

Hard to tell, but when the whole party is so corrupt and venal, who knows?

[SeattleVet]

33. There's a hidden truth in all this...

that the staffers aren't talking about yet. That is that they have seen her up close and her outlook combined with her ambition scares the living shit out of them. They're not just bitter that she's turning off moderate voters, they're embarrassed and scared that they've made her a national figure.

37. The next leader of the GOP?!?!?

From article: "Also, she is playing for her own future and sees herself as the next leader of the party. Remember: Divas trust only unto themselves, as they see themselves as the beginning and end of all wisdom."

If the GOP wishes to become a fringe party, with perhaps the Libertarians replacing them, yeah, they can put her in charge.
