McCain camp trying to scapegoat Palin

John McCain's campaign is looking for a scapegoat. It is looking for someone to blame if McCain loses on Tuesday.

And it has decided on Sarah Palin.

<snip>

a “top McCain adviser” told Mike Allen of Politico that Palin is “a whack job.”

Maybe she is. But who chose to put this “whack job” on the ticket? Wasn’t it John McCain? And wasn’t it his first presidential-level decision?

<snip>

It’s not like he was rushed. McCain wrapped up the Republican nomination in early March. He didn’t announce his choice for a running mate until late August.

Wasn’t that enough time for McCain to get to know Palin? Wasn’t that enough time for his crackerjack “vetters” to investigate Palin’s strengths and weaknesses, check through records and published accounts, talk to a few people, and learn that she was not only a diva but a whack job diva?

<snip>

his campaign’s bad decisions have not stopped with Sarah Palin. It has made a series of questionable calls, including making Joe the Plumber the embodiment of the campaign.

Are voters really expected to warmly embrace an (unlicensed) plumber who owes back taxes and complains about the possibility of making a quarter million dollars a year?

1. EEK! I hope this doesn't give her victimhood status. I want her to go away. n/t

5. Good point. The minute people feel sorry for her...she will run in 2012 for sure.

2. I dunno. Something tells me they're pulling the tail of the wrong dog.

She knows how to shoot a gun.

6. and yet, McNasty the Maverick continues to hop-along with it

4. By now, we all know that McCain does not like people., right?.

This is more than a political viewpoint/ideology difference.

It shows in his face, body language, his isolating even in public forums, his temper.
He stresses out very easily.

He should not have a job where he is surrounded by people.
I am serious about this.
