Blaming Palin

CNN.com is reporting that some conservatives "believe the Alaska governor has been a detriment to John McCain's presidential bid and threatens to lead the party astray for the foreseeable future." This article further states "Some McCain operatives, claiming Palin repeatedly veers off script and often disregards the campaign's advice, already believe she is more interested in positioning herself for the future than helping the party win this year." Well, that's what you get when you take a small-time governor from a small-time state and make her a vice-presidential candidate. People have said it before, that she was not thoroughly vetted, and that she is not ready to lead. She was a cheap ploy to try to grab Hillary voters who felt wronged when Obama was chosen as the nominee. The Republicans felt that women would vote for them because they had a woman, and not look at the issues that the Hillary supporters support. And now that people have realized it's a ploy, and the Republicans are down in the polls, they need someone to blame for them losing. At first, Sarah Palin was to be the saviour of the party, and now she's the scapegoat.
