Palin was the real problem.
The problem with the McCain campaign was...
... John McCain.
Look at them now - they're trying to dump on the candidate
that they chose. That attempt to place the blame alone makes me suspicious of the motivations, or even the legitimacy of these claims. I mean come on... Africa
a country?
In defense of Sarah Palin, let me ask any of you this: if you were called by your party's presidential nominee and suddenly thrust into the spotlight with no preparation whatsoever... how would you do? I think it's fair to say that, in retrospect, she wasn't ready for prime-time, but that says more about the failings of John McCain than it does about her.
I'm also still waiting to see his public comments on these anonymous claims. I'm waiting to see if he dismisses them as lies or if he substantiates them and then throws her under the bus.
I know it's fun for some of you who enjoy having an object of political ridicule, but I think the real truth is that any person that far removed from Washington policies and politics might have had just as many blunders. Piling on at this point is just stupid.
