CNN is reporting that more unscripted Palin remarks are pissing off McCain's top aides. They wish she'd just shut up about McCain giving her $150,000 to buy herself a wardrobe. Unfortunately, the unvetted candidate isn't comfortable about talking about much else without a TelePrompTer. Palin's camp say's she's trying to "bust free" from the way the McCain campaign has mismanaged her image. ...

... Sloppy and erratic, I don’t think any student of politics would be surprised at the inner turmoil bubbling out onto the front page of the campaign, but it is a little shocking to learn that the highest profile member to break ranks is none other than the Vice Presidential candidate, Sarah Palin. According to McCain insiders, Palin has “gone rogue,” and has gone off the reservation a number of times, the most recent of which being just yesterday when Palin decided to bring up her $150,000 wardrobe. ...

So let’s get this straight: decisions on where and how much NRCC money is deployed are made not by the committee or its chairman or staff but by a “unit” of political consultants who operate outside the realm of the committee and may very well have their own interests in certain candidates who do get money.
