Is Palin a "maverick" or a "rogue?"

[DSE 5]

Republican leaders can't get Palin to lockstep with the rest of em'.

....A second McCain source says she appears to be looking out for herself more than the McCain campaign.

"She is a diva. She takes no advice from anyone," said this McCain adviser. "She does not have any relationships of trust with any of us, her family or anyone else.

"Also, she is playing for her own future and sees herself as the next leader of the party. Remember: Divas trust only unto themselves, as they see themselves as the beginning and end of all wisdom."

Taking after GWB is she? Can a man be a diva?

I feel it, when I sorrow most;
'Tis better to have loved and lost
Than never to have loved at all.

Sure, look at Ru Paul

Good. She's NOT lockstep. She's her own woman. Her own person. McCain picked her and knew what he was getting.

Maverick? Rogue. Yes. Good. A little independence is pretty sweet in the political arena. And if it torpedos McCain then so be it. To paraphrase Brendan Sullivan Palin is not a potted plant.

>Good. She's NOT lockstep. She's her own woman. Her own person.

Agreed, and that's good.

>McCain picked her and knew what he was getting.

Based on his reactions to her lately, I'd say that was most likely NOT true. He took a gamble on her and lost. That's not to say she's not a groovy independent chick, but it does look like she is not what McCain had hoped for.

>Maverick? Rogue. Yes. Good. A little independence is pretty sweet in the

Definitely. And if she wants to run for office again (which I figure she will) she can do so without being linked to a guy like McCain.

[lawrocket 3]

Indeed. She may not be as dumb as many say. It's a sinking ship.

She's a typical politician - out for her self and feathering her own nest.

If this is true, she's pathologically delusional.

If McCain loses (and at this point, let's face it, he probably will), then Palin is going to be seen as one of if not THE reason he lost. She will be done nationally. My further guess is that she'll even have trouble holding on to her slot as Governor.

She will, perhaps, be done (though she might do pretty good if she comes back catering only to the religious right). But ultimately, the choice of Palin as VP reflects badly on McCain more than anyone else. If it's the reason he loses, it's his own fault. It was certainly the reason I quit taking him seriously as a candidate, and then he just went downhill after that one big horrible decision.

Nope, she is an idiot. and the rest of the world is so glad Mac chose her.

or "flash in the pan"?

breaks with "the message" are rarely signs of strong and differing convictions - and more often because it's too much for her to keep the talking points straight in her head.

This is what the Anchorage Daily News has to say about her, as they announce their endorsement for Obama:

Quote

"Like picking Sen. McCain for president, putting her one 72-year-old heartbeat from the leadership of the free world is just too risky at this time," the paper concluded.

That is a good question, certainly not the choices that we have. The problem I am having is accepting that the two choices that we have are the "best" available. As a nation that seems pretty sad and scary to me.

Hi crwtom,

will have disappeared from the national scene by Christmas.

I have been thinking about this and a guy named Bill Miller who also disappeared after a national election.

I found this about him:

William E. Miller:
The Man Who Wanted To Be Vice President

William E. (Bill) Miller, Republican vice-presidential candidate in 1964, the only Notre Dame alum ever to be chosen to run for the second highest office in the land,

Barry Goldwater once used to capture the humor, decency and commitment to public service that his 1964 running mate exemplified: "Bill was a good trooper, fought the good fight, and went home to Lockport, New York, with a smile and good grace . . ."

He was a virtually unknown Congressman from upstate New York when Goldwater picked him for this V-P running mate. They got swamped by LBJ and you never heard of Bill Miller again.
