McCain: It's 'Fun' to Disagree With Palin It is "fun" when Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin and John McCain disagree on issues, the Republican presidential candidate said during a campaign stop today.

... whether or not she voted to re-elect Stevens. And while McCain said he thought Stevens should resign , Palin did not actually come out and say that. Perhaps this is a sign of collusion? This way, Palin is able to hint, under the radar, that it's OK if Stevens doesn't want to go through the embarrassment and immediacy of resignation (at least not right away). She'll take care of his seat, should things get "out of hand" in Washington. Considering this possibility, the idea of Stevens being re-elected is not as surprising. For Sarah Palin fans, it's a definite win. They ...
