Thread: Palin's 'going rogue,' McCain aide says

ALBUQUERQUE, New Mexico (CNN) -- With 10 days until Election Day, long-brewing tensions between GOP vice presidential candidate Gov. Sarah Palin and key aides to Sen. John McCain have become so intense, they are spilling out in public, sources say.
Several McCain advisers have suggested to CNN that they have become increasingly frustrated with what one aide described as Palin "going rogue."
A Palin associate, however, said the candidate is simply trying to "bust free" of what she believes was a damaging and mismanaged roll-out.
McCain sources say Palin has gone off-message several times, and they privately wonder whether the incidents were deliberate. They cited an instance in which she labeled robocalls -- recorded messages often used to attack a candidate's opponent -- "irritating" even as the campaign defended their use. Also, they pointed to her telling reporters she disagreed with the campaign's decision to pull out of Michigan.

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

She just keeps on digging that grave.......

Could be a trick. People had stopped believing the "we're a couple o'mavericks" bullshit, so maybe they told her to go native. Either way, I hope it backfires.

Isn't "rogue" an adjective for the word "maverick?"

If Palin keeps it up Big John may just lose it and blow up on her.

I'm very into the Palin resurgence and enjoying seeing the insects scurry under the furniture when the lights come on. So I admit that I skimmed your piece.

Looks the Palin resurgence hasn't extended to her campaign staff.

She needs to get nekkid. That way they can either totally embrace her or totally disavow her.

Yes. Those single source "news" articles are so useful for generating these kinds of threads. The Palin resurgence is establishing her as her own man. The base of the Republican party doesn't really give a damn about McCain. I, for one, am looking to the future.

Palin pisses people off BECAUSE she won't stay in a subordinate, talking point mode. A lot of people would like her to be a Barbie, but she isn't.

Hold onto your seat. She's just getting started.

No, they are not coming from single sources.

Good for Palin! FINALLY, a weasel with 'nads!

Screw those Neo-Scumbags anyway, screw 'em ENTIRELY.

This idiotic stupidity about "staying on message" is just Neo-Scum double-talk for TOEING THE PARTY LINE, which is the same kinda crap you get from Rush Lamebrain in the guise of "intelligent political analysis".

SCREW the party line. The Neo-Cons do NOT define the agenda!!!

No more, no longer, no way, no how.

No more agenda-setting for that boy Bush, and his god-forsaken clowns from hell.

If they can just manage to keep their hands OFF the tiller till Jan. 20th, I'll be a happy camper.

McCain will lose and head back to Arizona. Palin will lose and head back to Alaska. Neither will be heard from again.
