huffingtonpost.com — Now that the 2008 election is over, reporters are spilling all the juciest, and previously off the record, gossip from the campaign trail.

Operation Leper
doubleplusundead — ... is going to be working to find out who the smacktards that are smearing Gov. Palin are, keeping an eye on them, and when elections roll around, crush them and the candidates they're working with. And we'll definitely be supporting RedState in that venture. This won't go unpunished. Posted by: ...

It’s too cute by half, as is the detail about NAFTA; they might as well have tossed in a story about her having to guess who’s buried in Grant’s tomb. To believe it, you have to believe she figured out a way to become governor of Alaska while somehow lacking the mental power to piece together which three nations might be involved in the North American Free Trade Agreement. Diehard ‘Cuda-haters like Sullivan will, of course, be more than happy to oblige. You’ll find another clip from ...

Jebus! Can’t Somebody Strangle These Assholes?
Daily PunditAnti-Palin McCain Staffers Begin Full-Scale Kneecapping of Sarah Palin Update: Bullshit Video of Bullshit Claims Now Available for Your Bullshit Enjoyment According to Ace, the same GOP (?) political “experts” who brought you John McStain’s hapless, fumbling, pathetic, stupid RINO campaign are right back to business as usual immediately after the previous disaster they engineered. Now they’re trying to destroy the one bright spot of the campaign, Sarah Palin. The whole “moderate” RINO wing of the GOP probably needs ...

These Losers Need To Grow Up
Riehl World View — Evidently some of the hacks associated with one of the worst political campaigns in modern history seem to want to end it by taking their shots at Sarah Palin. As RedState suggests and many suspect, this effort has more to do with damaging Palin lest she attempt to make a run in 2012. Ace is on it, too.  Some McCain advisers who may have worked with other candidates in the past and might also want to work with them, or others in the future, had better come to understand when to grow- and also shut-up. They aren't doing ...

The GOP Civil War Begins
Interesting Times — [image] It only took a day but the first shots of the war have been heard. Right wing blogs are on the war path and the subject is one dear to their hearts: Sarah Palin. Michelle Malkin and her fellow travelers defending the honor of Sarah Palin against anonymous McCain aides who are "smearing" Palin with all sorts of innuendo . The latter are getting an assist from FOX news and there are rumors that Mitt Romney's people are spreading it as well. The latter would move this spat beyond the blogs and FOX and ...

Lack of discipline
Silent Running — When I survey the stories coming out about the internal rifts within the McCain campaign following the convention involving Sarah Palin - it’s extremely disheartening to see, because it indicates to me a serious lack of professional discipline from the team John McCain surrounded himself with. Ultimate responsibility for this, and he’ll probably actually eventually admit this, if my reading of the man’s character is correct, lies with John McCain himself - because it is the leader that shapes the tone of a group dynamic, by the people he hires, and how he ...

Circular Firing Squads
Neptunus Lex — ... you get - interns are famously passionate - and at the very top, political convictions among the jobbing set become as stylized and impenetrable as a kabuki dance. With their own reputations for getting things done on the line, the losers often begin to snipe among themselves for a time before remembering that they’re all in the job line together. When that happens, they turn to choosing a convenient scapegoat. Sometimes they’ve got the goods. Sometimes they have to stretch: Here’s a story these staffers tell: ...

Naturally then, you'll see us go to war against those candidates."Ace" says it's not enough to go after candidates who might hire these people. Incidentally, if any of the ...

Sarah Palin: The GOP’s Best Hope in 2012
Pajamas Media — ... just as her from-the-hip speaking style was the mirror image of Obama’s soaring, lofty rhetoric. Where Obama sought to break the racial barrier as a harbinger of change and reform, Palin as the vice president would have broken the gender barrier, accomplishing the same goal. Yet despite the huge surge in the GOP’s favor after naming Palin to the ticket, the McCain campaign squandered away her appeal.  Some wonder now, in hindsight, whether this waste was intentional. Given the “ full-scale kneecapping of Sarah Palin” that McCain’s staff has undertaken since the election, it ...

Then again, there’s women…
neo-neocon — ... some time. And then watching the full court press to destroy Sarah Palin has been profoundly disturbing. Now that Palin has been defeated, the jackals are still not content. And many of those doing the feasting on the carcass this time are anonymous members of the McCain entourage and their enablers in a press that has descended to the ranks of the gossip column. I’m not planning to write a great deal about this. Others have done so more than adequately (see this and this, for example). I would, however, invite those who continue to think ...
