Palin Goes Off the Reservation
This is guaranteed to give John McCain heartburn. Politico’s Ben Smith reports that Sarah Palin is beginning to ignore her campaign minders. “She’s lost confidence in most of the people on the plane,” a source tells Smith, adding, “I think she’d like to go more rogue.” The friction comes from two warring camps inside McCain HQ. One led by Steve Schmidt and Nicolle Wallace is said to be preparing to blame Palin if McCain loses the election. Another faction contends Palin has been misused by the campaign, hidden from the press until it was too late to repair her image. How she’ll go “rogue” remains to be seen; last Sunday, she gave an impromptu interview while a minder desperately tried to cut her off.
