McCain, Palin insiders declare war on one another as election day looms



WASHINGTON — Facing a deft assault by Democrats and widescale rejection
by voters, John McCain and Sarah Palin are circling the wagons and
firing inwards at each other with just nine days until the presidential
election.

The tattered remains of their ticket were everywhere Sunday, with both
McCain and Palin insiders publicly on the attack to hold the other side
responsible for their candidate's woes on the campaign trail.

"She is a diva - she takes no advice from anyone," an unnamed McCain
adviser told CNN over the weekend.

"She does not have any relationships of trust with any of us, her family
or anyone else ... 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."

Those close to Palin, however, say she has simply tried to break free of
a McCain campaign that terribly mishandled her, making her the butt of
international jokes in the process.

"The campaign as a whole bought completely into what the Washington
media said - that she's completely inexperienced," a close Palin ally
told the Politico website.

"Her strategy was to be trustworthy and a team player during the
convention and thereafter, but she felt completely mismanaged and
mishandled and ill-advised. Recently, she's gone from relying on McCain
advisers who were assigned to her to relying on her own instincts."

Palin is apparently most miffed at McCain advisers Nicolle Wallace and
Steve Schmidt.

What could be better for Americans than the GOP splitting into two
distinct factions, the moderate to slight right of centers, who might
have a chance of winning national elections in the future, and the
evangelical braindead know-nothings, who will champion Sarah Palin?

I think most of this Palin as rogue, is BS, but if McCain loses, there
will be soul-searching in the Republican Party. If the right-wing of the
Party wins, Republicans will go the way of the Whigs. It's demographics:

The dumbing down of the GOP that accelerated during the evangelical
takeover may have played out.

The party in power at the executive level during this financial
meltdown is sufferer during this election regardless of the fact that
they called for overview reforms with the Fanny's.

The Republicans are therefore the ones being hurt and as I see it this
election will most likely result in the Dems controlling the
Presidency and the Congress....a scary thing if it indeed happens.

A lousy campaign by McCain, combined with the fact that he did not
take public contributions killed him..Obama reneged on his promise not
to do so which resulted in record money to spend on advertising.

It is not over till the fat lady sings and there are a lot of
undecided voters so at least there is still hope.

Yep...there's still more than a week left for McPalin's negative
name-calling and fear-mongering!

There has been enough of that on both sides.
