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.” A Palin associate, however, said the candidate is simply trying to “bust free” of what she believes was a damaging and mismanaged roll-out…
A McCain source says she appears to be looking out for herself more than the McCain campaign. “She is a diva. She takes no advice from anyone,” said this McCain adviser. “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.”
If you want to rebuild the Republican Party after letting it be captured by 19th Century nutballs – then, you have reason to be concerned.
Palin sure made the American election a lot more amusing, for two reasons: one: the things she does, two: the fact that she makes sure Obama get’s elected, which really helps me relax about it all.

Gotta love it: We’ve gone from mavericks to rogues. It’s all calculated.

We have this funny little document.
the current national socialists whould like you to believe that the public supports this.
I believe, in the interest of the public, that
life is at it is
“John the Liar” is complaining about Failin’ Palin’? Both of them will have to do other things after the election and for Johnny boy, the liar, he’ll be in Arizona trying new things, heh. As for Failin’ Palin’, she;ll be in JAIL. Now how sweet is that?
I guess Palin didn’t get the memo. She still thinks they’re going to win. McCain’s been playing to lose for the last 6 weeks.
“Remember: Divas trust only unto themselves, as they see themselves as the beginning and end of all wisdom.”
Are they talking about Palin? Or Obama?
#15, Gareth,
If you aren’t part of the solution, you are part of the problem. So just shut the eff up and save the bitching to those willing to cast their opinion on a ballot.
Sound to me like the rats are deserting the ship and looking for someone to blame.
If Palin thinks she can separate herself for the (likely) McCain debacle the Tuesday after next, she is sadly mistaken. the narrative is already being written – she energized the base, but drove off the centrist independents that McCain needed and caused many to question his judgment.
you can’t have a big chunk of the party blame you for a presidential crater, then come back big four years later.
The rats are jumping ship! Every rat for themselves! The writing’s on the wall, the republican party is about to implode, and the Dems will run the house, senate, and Presidency for the next decade.
Meanwhile, each faction of the splintered republican party will try to win out and take power in the party, hopefully those with the core values will win: those that believe in small government, in personal rights, in small spending, but I doubt it. The religious nutjobs which have brought about this problem have just too much power.
#27 You said it.
#23 – Ed.,That comment you deleted was a direct quote from my movie where I commented on Pamela Anderson, in case you didn’t see it.
#30 damn straight – the conservative chattering class has already started to excommunicate each other. Strangely enough, some people think that ‘where you stood on Palin’ should be the litmus test

the yakkers seem to think that there is ONE test for belonging under what was once supposed to be a fairly big tent.

Roads that I prefer not to take…
#27 – Mr. Fusion – …save the bitching to those willing to cast their opinion on a ballot.
Well said.

it’s a rare day when paddy and i agree:
if you don’t vote, don’t bitch.
we’ll all be casting ours.
who can blame her? look at the numbers of people that sarah “the pitbull” palin packs in at rallies compared to the john “the cadaver” mccain.
she can see the writing on the wall. she’s clearly gonna run 2012, and she can’t have too much of the stink of this campaign’s death on her.
The last week before voting should be hilarious – she’ll prolly try some risky attack that’ll backfire… (Sending Obama to an easy victory.)
