The blame game has begun

It seems that in every arena, people feel the need to blame someone for their defeat. In the case of the McCain campaign they are clearly trying to blame Governor Sarah Palin.

And, that is unfortunate.

I have stated several times on this blog that I didn’t like Palin politically and felt she was a bad Vice Presidential choice. Still, there is no need to try and sully her name.

Yesterday, several reports surfaced referring to campaign infighting, Palin’s diva like tendencies, and a host of other things being leaked by McCain aides.

One story out there is that one time McCain’s aides came to her hotel room to brief her and she greeted them in nothing but a bath towel wrapped around her body and another around her wet hair. There are also new details surrounding about the amount of money spent on her clothes. Aides are now saying the number was closer to $200,000 and that Palin also had aides buy items with their own personal credit cards.

The most damaging leaked news was probably the fact that she didn’t know that Africa was a continent or couldn’t name the countries in North America.

While all these stories may be true, I find it reprehensible that they are trying to destroy this woman personally and politically – all because they lost.

What I find interesting is that they don’t seem to realize that they are not only tarnishing her image, they are also tarnishing McCain’s.

This was his pick; his first major decision as a presidential candidate. Makes you wonder if they would have released all this information about her had they won. It would seem pertinent to the American people to know that their vice president is an idiot, who is trying to get by on her looks.

Isn’t that the picture they are trying to paint now?

And for those who want to try and blame the liberal media for these stories, hold you horses. I saw these reports on Fox News; as a matter of fact on the O’Reilly Factor.

I have always believed in the creed that you win and lose with dignity.

The campaign is over; they lost; now it is time for them to move on.

And let Palin be.
