Today, we are witnessing the reason most conservatives have disliked and not trusted John McCain...we are witnessing the tearing down of Palin by McCain insiders.
Why?
It is an effort to resurrect the Maverick McCain by savaging Palin.
The past Mainstream Media Darling John McCain wants to be the Media Darling again. To do this and assume again the mantle he so enjoyed, he must destroy the person he helped to elevate. McCain (insiders) have decided it is either him (them) or her, and his heroic past is long gone, and what is evident is that he had surrounded himself with people of low character. These people cannot see what the rest of us see, that it was a horribly run campaign, perhaps one of the worst ever...
The real questions are...
Who garnered the great crowds? Palin of course...
Would these insiders do this if McCain did not support the effort to harm her? It could be stopped if McCain came out and stopped it
McCain needs to come out today to defend the women who stood in defense for him...If he does not it will harm his standing in the minds and hearts of the base...whom she rallied.
They have only themselves to blame.
The savaging of Sarah Palin can only be stopped if John McCain were to stand up, genuinely, and claim these efforts to be unworthy. For McCain to say that Sarah was a great runningmate who deserves the mantle she helped to decorate.
McCain Campaign insiders are certainly trying to CYA, but to savage Sarah Palin is a disturbing result of rats trying to escape a ship already sunk. Rick Davis and crew ran an embarassing campaign that failed to take advantages of the few oppertunities presented themselves...
McCain lost because of Bush Fatique, because it was a Referendum against Bush, it ran as close as it did becuase of Palin energizing the base. It was the great crowds that Sarah generated that energized the campaign...McCains finest moment was selecting Palin...not retorting by comparing Palin vs Obama was his mistake. Experience of my number 2 vs the Dem Presidential Nominee should have been the card being played.
John McCain needs to take control of his people, the people he selected and defend the women who stood by his side and kept GOP spirits high!
