GOP:
Palin is wreaking havoc
Turns out "It's alive! It's alive!"
According to multiple Republican
campaign sources, the publicity whore wreaks havoc on campaign
logistics and planning. She offers little notice about her
availability, refuses to do certain events,
is obsessive about press coverage and sometimes backs out with as
little lead time as she gave in the first place.
In short, her seat-of-the-pants operation can be a nightmare to deal
with, which, in part, explains why
Palin doesn’t often do individual events for GOP hopefuls.
It’s not that Palin issues outlandish, rock star-like demands such as
certain-colored M&M’s in the greenroom.
At the events Palin does attend, officials say, she’s no diva; Kind and
courteous is the more frequent description.
But the high-maintenance aspects of dealing with the publicity whore
have angered and frustrated some
conservative candidates and aides who once thought highly of Palin and,
for more skeptical Republicans,
simply confirmed their view that she’s self-centered and unhelpful to
the cause.
Apparently I missed the memo, but the talking heads over the weekend
now claim that it an accepted fact
that Palin WILL run for president in 2012 and she WILL win the GOP
nomination - if she wants it.
They say Palin is seen favorably by
72% of the GOP and nobody else can even come close to that.
Last I heard, her negatives were much higher than her approval - but I
guess that's all changed.
They say the GOP
nomination is hers to lose.
They also said that, should the Bitches and Boners prevent her from
getting the GOP nomination,
she will run on the Teabagger Ticket which would certainly help Obama.
Maybe it's time to bring back those Mooselini t-shirts.
