For Palin, Shopping Spree Was The Last Straw
There’s been a lot of headlines of late about Sarah Palin “going rogue” out on the campaign trail. What’s interesting is why she’s gone rogue.
Though McCain once said he considered Obama’s relationship with the Rev. Jeremiah Wright to be an old issue, this month Palin said, “I don’t know why that association isn’t discussed more.”
Palin also publicly stated that she thought it was a mistake for the campaign to give up on Michigan, and that she thought voters were annoyed by robocalls - which McCain uses extensively.
The last straw for the vice-presidential candidate was the raft of criticism from the $150,000 worth of high-end clothes the Republican National Committee bought her, a campaign source said.
Palin showed how much that gaffe got under her skin yesterday at a rally in Sioux City, Iowa, telling the crowd she’d stepped off the plane and donned a warm, cream-colored jacket.
“And it’s my own jacket,” she said.
If the GOP had nominated a good candidate Sarah Palin wouldn’t have to go rogue. She could just be herself.
That Palin has had to fight against the McCain campaign this election season just shows how badly the GOP erred by putting McCain on top of the ticket.
Frankly, I think Sarah Palin “going rogue” and being herself is the best thing she could possibly do at this point.
