Hot Air » Top Picks — ... story from the piece of if he got it from a source firsthand; if the latter, then there’s either one very determined person leaking to multiple news outlets or … it’s a full-court press. Whichever it is, you’ll never hear the word “uncommon” uttered as pejoratively as you will here. I assume this is a sign that Maverick’s headed back to the center, because if he thinks the base is sore at him now, wait until his cronies’ attempts to scapegoat their idol start percolating. The boss’s reaction is emblematic, I’d guess. Exit question: I wonder what ...

Spirit-of-generosity Dep't
The Reality-Based Community — [image] Spirit-of-generosity Dep't Michelle Malkin's defense of Sarah Palin from backbiting by McCain loyalists deserves support from all good liberals. Partly, this is just good incentive management. When someone does you a big favor, you ought to do what you can to show that you're grateful. And Sarah Palin just did us a huge favor, at considerable cost not only to her career but to her dignity. Without the Katie Couric interview, the result might have been much closer. Not only did she drive grown-up conservatives into the Obama camp, she solved the ...

I Have a Theory On the Palin-Bashing
California Conservative — Michelle Malkin and Gateway Pundit have posted on the McCain aides trashing Sarah Palin story. I have a theory about what’s happening with that. It’s my theory that these trashtalking Palin-bashers are the same people that kept trying to undermine McCain’s campaign by having Sen. McCain pick Joe Lieberman or Tom Ridge. I further suspect, though it’s just a hunch, that some of these gutless cowards anonymous sources are former Romney staffers that migrated to McCain’s campaign. These ...

Palin Last Nail in Republican Coffin?
Outside The Beltway | OTB — ... all the Obama staffers who couldn’t believe Joe Biden was so boneheaded as to promise a grave national security crisis if his guy won and Biden staffers complaining about Obama’s ill-considered remarks to Joe the Plumber or Obama’s diva qualities being demonstrated by his penchant for giant outdoor rallies with Greek columns.  Since they won, however, the mistakes are minimized.

The McCain Campaign Finds its Scapegoat
Slublog — ... Given the level of debate over Sarah Palin among conservatives, this is no surprise.

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 ...
