Palin is a symptom of a larger problem. Same problem had McCain quoting George Jr exactly, "Our economy is sound" - as AIG was going under. Same problem now could not decide to support the bailout or opposed it - as demonstrated by McCain's contradictory statements. Same problem even had him tell Letterman that he was hustling to Washington to save the negotiations when, instead he went on the CBS News and his puppy dog Palin visited Ground Zero. Letterman was incensed. And then the running to Washington only confused the bailout issue with partisan politics - even dragging Obama into a do nothing meeting.
McCain has a serious problem. Not Palin. He has advisers that could not even agree whether they were for the bailout before they were against it.
