The McCain-Palin Rift
The election's a week away, and the McCain campaign is burying itself before the electorate has a chance to do so. Could McCain's bid turn out to be the worst-run campaign in American presidential history?
It's certainly gunning for the honor. Read on, dear reader, George Stephanopoulos's take:
Palin is going to be the most vivid chapter of the McCain campaign's post-mortem.
McCain argued Monday that he "couldn't be more proud" of his running mate.
However, there is a significant rift inside the McCain campaign.
Those loyal to McCain believe they have been unfairly blamed for over-handling Palin. They say they did the best they could with what they got.... The Palin camp is fighting back, arguing that if the McCain campaign had just let Sarah Palin be Sarah Palin, she would have done just fine on her own.
ABC News goes on to report that staffers in the McCain campaign are already sending out résumés. What's the matter with these people? Can't they wait a week? Their actions show they have no faith that being members of the GOP elite gives them a financial shield against the Bush recession.

Palin
This McCain/Palin rift tells me more about McCain than it does about Palin - If his campaign staff is so disorganized, with all this infighting, what kind of a White House staff would he have? If Palin is as ignorant as they claim, then they obviously did a poor job of vetting her. Leaders take charge of their staffs, not vice verse.
socialism
You may believe Obama has socialist leaning ideas or not, but "tax cuts for working families" was not defined as socialism -- it is redistribution of wealth from one group of people to another that Obama campaigned on, by providing checks to people paying no income tax by raising taxes on higher income earners to a greater extent than already exists.
A definition from wikipedia---
Socialists mainly share the belief that capitalism unfairly concentrates power and wealth among a small segment of society that controls capital and creates an unequal society. All socialists advocate the creation of an egalitarian society, in which wealth and power are distributed more evenly, although there is considerable disagreement among socialists over how, and to what extent this could be achieved.
VP
She is really ignorant. What else can you say about her. She is running for the Vice President of the USA - she is not running for dog catcher . How sad. Palin just cost McCain the election.
Sarah Palin - John McCain's new legacy.
