According to a McCain adviser, Sarah Palin is "going rogue" and has begun positioning herself for a 2012 run rather than focusing on winning 2008. I find this phrase especially fitting since "rogue" is usually paired in my mind with "elephant," the very symbol of the republican party.
If Palin were an actual elephant stampeding willy nilly through the town there'd be only one solution: a high powered rifle. Obviously this is not an option for the McCain campaign, so it will be interesting to see how they deal with this latest campaign-killing problem instead.
Apparently Palin isn't so happy about having been thrown under the bus, for which I applaud her. Liberals may have dubbed her "Caribou Barbie," but it's the campaign who made her into such a plastic persona.
Nicole Wallace (whom I loathe as much as Steve Schmidt) had this to say:
The Politico reported Saturday about Palin's frustration specifically with McCain advisers Nicolle Wallace and Steve Schmidt, who helped make the decision to limit Palin's initial press contact to a couple of high profile interviews with Charlie Gibson of ABC and Katie Couric of CBS, which all McCain sources admit were highly damaging.
In response, Wallace emailed CNN the same quote she gave the Politico:
“If people want to throw me under the bus my personal belief is that the most honorable thing to do is to lie there,” said Wallace.
What a spineless twat--oops!--I mean selfless martyr and patriot.
