Palin grumpy over ride with Burr

Oh, how some people would sell their souls in order to advance their own political agenda.

The N&O Obama-adorers/Palin-haters leave out much of the context of the article. Let's add that context:

" ... it seems clear that McCain's senior staff evinced little sympathy for how tough a 24/7 presidential campaign can be on a mom with a day job.

Tension reached a boil on Wednesday, October 15, the start of a two-day trip to New Hampshire. Scheduled events that day included a radio call in to a national conservative talk show host, Mike Gallagher, at least two local print interviews, a one-on-one TV interview with Manchester's WMUR-TV, a rally in Laconia, an "off the record" event in Concord. A rally in Salem capped off the evening. Then Palin would retire to a hotel in Manchester to watch McCain debate Barack Obama.
...
(Jason Recher, head of Palin's advance team) notes that Palin requested from the campaign a certain amount of down time each day to tend to her children or to the business or her day job as Governor of Alaska. That day, the "down time" was coincident with the motorcades to and from Salem, New Hampshire. "She wanted to be respectful to her hosts, but she also wanted to focus on her job as governor, because it was in John McCain's interest for her to do well in that job,"

At the end of the article is the bit about Sen. Burr. Now I wonder if Sen. McCain said yes to each & every request for company on the campaign bus? How about Obama? The Palin-hating accounts are invariably by paid professional political operatives - it's in their best interests to slam Palin - they need another job for the 2010 & 2012 elections - they don't want their own incompetency blamed for McCain's defeat.

If I were her I would have done much the same - i.e. not trusted the cynical, conniving McCain staffers. And seriously, only an idiot would think the Narcissist-in-Chief didn't have moments when he would lose his charm out of frustration & sheer exhaustion from the campaign trail. But those moments, of course, would never get reported by the liberal old media.

The same liberal elitist media & professional politicos hated & despised & ridiculed Reagan too.

BTW, N&O - where's the AP Fact Check article on Palin's book? Disappeared? Too funny. As Fox has pointed out, Obama's (& Biden's, & Kerry's, etc.) books weren't fact-checked by the AP - and certainly the AP didn't hire 11 reporters for one hit-piece. Those books were treated by the AP as liberal gospels for the already-converted.
