McCain & Palin: Frenemies!
Oliver Willis —
I swear, the McCain campaign now has more in common with a supermarket tabloid or Laguna Beach than a presidential campaign
However, there is a significant rift inside the McCain campaign.
Those loyal to McCain believe they have been unfairly blamed for over-handling Palin. They say they did the best they could with what they got.
They point to the bounce in the polls McCain got when he announced Palin as his running mate, her Republican convention speech, and her first interview with ABC’s Charles Gibson.

They claim that the evil MSM is conspiring to dispirit GOP voters and force them to either put a gun to their heads or stay home on election day watching reruns of CSI : Miami. . I am told “McCain’s not dead, he’s closing.” Of course, the evidence cited in defense of that notion is … the polls. So much for the the logic of the desperate. Indeed, if you read what McCain’s pollster Bill McInturff says in this Hill piece, we see the perfect rationale for hope; everyone else is wrong but me: Despite widespread polling to the ...
