mccain aide

A McCain aide was fired by the McCain campaign after it was determined he was getting too close to Palin:

“He was positioning himself with Palin at the expense of John McCains campaign message,” said one of the aides.

Instead of touting their candidate, they're trying to spread fear. Instead of trying win votes in battleground states, they're defending states Bush had won in '04. Instead of sending a cohesive message, they are infighting...

Like I said, I don't blame Palin for thinking about her own political future right now as the McCain campaign goes down in flame. It's what any smart politician would do, and it did strike me as sexist that McCain staffers were calling her a "diva" when no one would ever call a man a name like that.

McCain aides think their boss is toast:

A former Bush strategist asserts that it was a mistake to put Sarah Palin on the ticket and McCain knew it when he did it:

I can't wait til Thursday. Personally, I think Biden could have kicked McCain's ass in the debate on Friday, far more effectively than Obama.... just imagine him against the 'church lady' on Thursday. She better be prayin' ...

The Veep debate is on Thursday. I got this from Ed Schultz via Andrew Sullivan:

Capitol Hill sources are telling me that senior McCain people are more than concerned about Palin.

Jiminy Christmas! John McCain and Sarah Palin are just making up everything now.

McCain aide Kimmie Lipscomb told reporters on Sept. 10 that an outdoor rally in Fairfax City, Virginia, drew 23,000 people, attributing the crowd estimate to a fire marshal.

I hope everyone is revved up for Governor Palin's speech. Feel free to drop any snide sexist remarks you hear from the cretins into the comments. I'm collecting them. And here's a funny video about Sarah Barracuda and John McCain and how: "There's 18 million cracks in the glass ceiling and it's about to start raining shards . . . " (not work safe.)
