Temper Temper


The McCain campaign is already engaged in an internal battle. In the possible event of a McCain defeat at the hands of Obama, McCain's handlers and Palin's handlers will spread and distribute the blame. Let's call them the campaign's emotional and defeat socialists.

Allegedly, Palin is upset at McCain's handlers, McCain insiders are upset at Palin, and the makings of an odd couple meltdown are germinating.

It couldn't happen to a more deserving couple.

Alas, nobody has won anything yet, and never underestimate the power of the American people to snatch stupidity from the jaws of intelligence.

Politico: Palin allies report rising campaign tension
"These people are going to try and shred her after the campaign to divert blame from themselves," a McCain insider said, referring to McCain's chief strategist, Steve Schmidt, and to Nicolle Wallace, a former Bush aide who has taken a lead role in Palin's campaign. Palin's partisans blame Wallace, in particular, for Palin's avoiding of the media for days and then giving a high-stakes interview to CBS News' Katie Couric, whose sometimes painful content the campaign allowed to be parceled out over a week.

The Couric interview — her only unstaged appearance for a week — was "water torture," as one internal ally put it.

The circular firing squad is forming fast on the right. The fight for the party will commence the moment the election ends. If u look close u can already see the battle lines forming.
