Almost from the very beginning, it was quite clear that McCain tapped Palin specifically for the purposes of being his pit bull (with lipstick).

I read an interesting theory over at SFN: Palin was appointed by the republican religious reich and through back room politics McCain was forced into it in order to get the nomination. Further that the same reich has been holding her reigns ever since. Seems plausible to me.

The Science Fiction Network?

McCain not happy with Palin? Puleeezzze. He picked out his new toy, on the advice of that rough crowd he's always toadying up to (Limbaugh, Krystol, Dobson), and that's his responsibility. If he's unhappy with this toy, he's going to have to just lump it, because he's NOT getting another one.

Seriously - just watch the TV ads where McCain says he approved this message - they're no different than Palin's, or his own, rhetoric of late.

Come now - The Palin Family Freakshow will be tabloid fodder for years to come. Just the way they hound ex-inlaws is a good indicator of fun for when Levi heads for the hills.
 
The only way Republicans can win is to make the ticket Palin/McCain.

I hadn't thought of that but you're right. Imagine the headlines...

Levi abuses Bristol
Levi affair revealed
Todd's secret lover reveals all
Sarah spotted with Elvis
Putin in secret meetings with Sarah
UFO sighted by Track while running laps on the track

... all in 70 point font. Gawd, I'm going to enjoy standing in my local supermarket checkout line for at least a decade. :)

C'mon, MaGZ, you're thinking too small. Who the hell needs that old geezer? If the Elephants need a shake-up, they'll go for Palin/Paul. Or, if they are really bold and want to appeal to the electorate, they will announce a Palin/Barr ticket on Nov. 1st. Where "electorate" is defined as five nutters getting ****-faced in a bar in Sugarland, Texas.
 
Back again.

BITTER infighting has broken out between aides to John McCain and Sarah Palin over management of the Alaska governor's role in the campaign, it was reported today.
The Politico.com website cited four Republicans close to Palin as saying she had grown frustrated by advice given to her by campaign handlers, whom supporters blame for a series of public relations gaffes.
The report said Ms Palin was now increasingly willing to disregard orders from advisers, suggesting the Republican running mate was in the initial stages of forging her own identity for a future tilt at the White House.
"She's lost confidence in most of the people on the plane," said a senior Republican quoted by Politico, adding that Ms Palin had already begun to "go rogue" in some of her public pronouncements on the campaign trail.
The Alaska governor's supporters accused McCain campaign strategist Steve Schmidt and senior aide Nicole Wallace of already attempting to blame Ms Palin for the failure of the campaign.
"These people are going to try and shred her after the campaign to divert blame from themselves," a McCain insider was quote by Politico as saying.
When asked to comment on the Politico story, Ms Wallace said in an email: "I have no comment other than what's in the story, if people wish to throw me under the bus, my personal belief is that the graceful thing to do is to lie there."
Later, Politico quoted McCain advisers reacting angrily to the report, branding Ms Palin a "diva".
The McCain sources said Ms Palin had repeatedly gone "off-message" recently, suggesting she appeared to be looking out for herself.
