Seems Sarah Palin is unhappy with how the John McCain ex George Bush aides have been managing her. And she has been openly critical of John McCain over the use of robocalls and the fact that she hasn't been readily available to the media. The McCain people felt she was too green a stand that has since angered Palin.
The McCain people apparently feel that in the case of his likely defeat that Palin will make a good scapegoat. And they are tossing around the word diva in reference to Governor Palin's behavior.
As for Palin she seems to be focusing less on McCain and this election than redeeming her image for a possible 2012 run for the White House.
I don't like her stand on abortion and a ton of other things but she does have girl balls. I admire that.
Now what will this mean to this election?

She allowed herself (and her young family) to be paraded out and used like a mere props to contrast the old stale McCain brand. Doesn't appear to me that she represented anything except how much she would pander to the McCain camp and her own ego.
I certainly HOPE it's not the other side -- that makes for a disturbing image! :)
I don't think she has a chance as a presidential candidate in 2012 - too many radical evangelical views for a mainstream audience. They have been mentioned in this campaign, but if she were the main candidate and not just the running mate, it would be hammered over and over.
Ape I agree but again I dont think Palin is very bright so she doesnt realize what this is actually doing to her future career.
Take home message, and conclusively: they can't stand Sarah Palin, period. The end.
I forget who the previous was, but they're still reeling over how -- just HOW he ever lost to Palin. Furthermore, they like Ted Stevens (don't ask me why), and don't like what she did there, either.
For awhile, I had compassion for Palin, and didn't discuss her. Now, I see she is nothing but an opportunist, manipulative, hypocritical witch. What I hate most is the hypocrisy related to Christianity, because it a method used to -- once again -- manipulate people who just don't seem to get it.
What I don't understand is why so many -- okay, let me put it this way. Did you see D. L. Hughley's new program on CNN tonight? It is live, and un-cut. Here it is in a nutshell:
Sarah Palin is the pimp, pimpin' America, and she expects America to be her whores.
I'm rather pissed at my bosses right now. Will it do me any good to get "ballsy"? Nope. I'll bide my time and when they have an "urgent need", I will be able to smile and point out they refused to give me the tools I need to do the job. Then I will get what I want with icing on it.
My Sis claims Palin is the dumbest woman in America!
Brian your sis is correct.
Didn't I see a video where that Rev Muthee guy cast out her witches?
WM H yes you did.
You can call it girl balls, but to me it is the contraction, unmitigated gall. There are so many capable, talented, hard-working women out there. This is not the one I ever want to see in or near the White House. If she'd come forward with knowledge or wisdom or talent or experience or even common sense, I could go forward at least without despising her. Unfortunately, she had none of that.
Stephanie I feel the same way you do. If she would have came out with something substantial and not just her diva attitude then I would not dislike her as much as I do..but this is about the best we are going to see from her...a smarter woman wouldnt have said OK to McCain.
Sandy yep. Lincoln would bitch slap them all if he were alive today.
BWA HAHAHAHAHAAA! You're funny!!!
I might just change my vote now.
That said, Palin is incredible. Fortunately for me I really don't have a stake in who gets elected because I am a man's man. I never needed government or their utopian promises and would probably commit suicide the day I did. I feel sorry for democrats. In many ways I hope Obama wins just to slow the progression of misery among those who count on government Obama's promises. I couldn't imagine being a slave to hope.
Jeff so you ARE gay then.
Nippy I think she thinks she may be running in 2012.
I'm NOT blaming YOU cupcake...but the thought IS hilarious!!!! As a frequently described bleeding heart liberal (Pro-people, pro-American) person....I find it "snort your drink through your nose" funny. Truth be told...The GOP threw this election because we've come to the "pay the price" position. THEY don't want to be there when the bills become due and payable. The reason McShame chose her and not someone like Kucinich was because the GOP knows she's NOTHING. They lose nothing. She's just to F-ing stOOpid to know it yet.
"In many ways I hope Obama wins just to slow the progression of misery among those who count on government Obama's promises."
Lucky you. He'll win.
"I couldn't imagine being a slave to hope. "
Yeah. Much better to be a corporate slave without hope. [ *rolls eyes* ]
HAHAHAHAhahahahaaa! You mean YOU haven't written one???
Sorry to hear about your short comings Doyle. I hope your life gets better if Obama gets elected. Keep hope alive!
I'm curious....is a Man's man a homosectional??? Member of the rainbow brrigade??? Hmm?
I nearly forgot about that one. The entire Country rates, what is it? 51% disapprove of her. I'm ROFL.
She was a REAL blast when asked what the role of the VP in Congress was. Wooo Mama.
She at least needs to READ the Constitution and learn what the role of the VP is, since she is running for it.
Sandy, we may not need to wait until 2016 for a butt kicking if she walks in the Senate thinking she is going to run it. Hillary would whoop her then, and there.
But . . .it shall never happen since she and McCain are toast.
I have no shortcomings....and I'M not concerned MY personal life will improve Mr. Limpy McLimpwrist. I'M hoping the nation will improve because I'M not all about ME! Incidentally...."IF"....HAHAHAHAHAhahahaaa! You mean WHEN President Obama is elected, yes??? (*snicker*)
No. I hear his D*ck tastes like sh*t so everyone knows!
Wow. A gay who supports the Gay bashing party. Harvard? Yale? BWA HAHAHAHAhahahaa!
Maybe if I'd made a simple lifestyle choice I'd now know what it's like to experience hope. As it is I'm a straight guy at the end of middle age who's just figured out that retirement is an ever receding carrot. I thought I might do it at 66 if I lived that long. Hee hee.

And you KNOW this how Jeff...you cant just make lame ass statements and expect that everyone will believe them.
Where'd you hear THAT? The same voice that told you YOU make sense when you drivel your nonsense??? Have a source??? Thought not. Unlike you I will fare well regardless.
It's even worse than it was a week ago.
What a loser!!!
One guy from Alaska said reluctantly: "we'll take her back, if only for the good of the Country."
For shame,
For shame.
Anyway, here is what he said about Palin:
"About the US campaign, I cannot imagine Mc Cain winning the election with Ms Palin as vice president. We have at least two dozen of idiots involved in politics in France, yet there is no competition with her, she is a winner...
ENjoy the fight!"
. . .and before anyone starts hatin' on him -- that is the VERY reason I'm not giving up his name. I've seen some of the comments made to Rory the Canadian about sticking his nose into American politics; never mind that my friend is a Gatherer. I'm not letting it happen to him, just because he and his people think Palin a idiot.
Come on, people; wasn't that obvious from the first? She's an opportunist.
I am glad you finally admit that I don't want to hump Palin's leg. Soon you will be admitting I was right about other things. Get used to it sweetie.
Jeff and I am glad you admit that it is McCains leg you desire to hump...the truth will set you free.
Run, Nippy, run! Run and run fast!
They are going to get you
OMG!!!
I have your back though, Nippy. I believe in freedoms
But, please, please, please. Do not EVER mention the P&F Party again.
They shall call you the "C" word!!!
Didn't you know that some forgot we have a Constitution here in America!!!
I see you facts and research skills are about up to par with democrat standards. But you are a democrat so it's understandable. Everybody know it is Doyle's leg that I want to hump.
You're SO right cupcake. She wanted to be VP and the GOP wanted someone to toss under the train that wouldn't ruin a future candidate. I don't care what Canadian or French (un-named) people (presumably) say!
The line is long.....but distinguished.
I don't hate you. In fact, I don't even hate those ridiculous people who call themselves the "Christian Right", who are the biggest haters this side of Hell.
DEEEEEEEEEEEELEEEEEEEEEEEETE that come -- hurry, hurry!!!
before "they" see it.
You shall be a marked man, or frog!
So am I.
But I really dig your pink ride. May I?
I hope you realize that I am serious.
Jeff honestly you can be yourself here....Now I wouldnt want to hump McCains leg but then wrinkly old guys just dont do it for me but if thats your bag more power to you...BTW I am not a democrat.
Wow, now I want to hump Lori's leg.
She shall never be President.
If there is to be a female President, watch her try to go up against the Almighty.
I am not speaking of God; well maybe I am -- H-I-L-L-A-R-Y!!!
Jeff: )
Me too....Don'tcha know?......one heckuva big deal worth.
We'll negotiate that when the time comes cupcake!
ta-da --
Hillary!!
Palin EVER try to run against Hillary, ooooh how I would love to see that matchup.
Hillary would have Palin looking like Phyllis Diller, before the facelift.
I'm telling you, Sandy: there are more than 20% of the people up there that are not happy with Palin. They want to get her OUT of Alaskan politics, and back to Wasilla.
Now, why are you giving me a hard time about this. What should have took me a few hours took me ALL NIGHT!!! And then, the pictures didn't turn out. Some even errored off the article.
Give a brotha a break, will ya?
I always share Cupcake!!!
After all, they would not qualify as those good ole
....... "REAL".......Americans
HAHAHAHahahhaaaa! Deal with it loser!
You do realise that that means over 70% are happy with Palin Nalita. What, do you work for MSNBC?
Jeff and check those polls she was down to 64% approval several weeks ago.
No....My cupcake LOVES me....THAT....my friend....is why she allows me, and only me, to call her cupcake. Drool in your sleep on that one.
"You do realise that that means over 70% are happy with Palin Nalita. What, do you work for MSNBC? "
That doesn't explain her WHOPPING 10% approval rating. She's the lowest EVER nominee in history. Wonder why.
"""Jeff and check those polls she was down to 64% approval several weeks ago. """"
And Obama was up to 47% today.
Back that up cupcake.
