If Palin was so innocent, then she would have scored significant political points by aggressively denying those accusations. Then use those accusations as proof that she was being smeared. Instead Palin was silent.
Palin, who is right there continuously with McCain and his campaign staff, says nothing? Instead we only get this tacit denial from the campaign's communications director?
Quote:
In a statement, Jill Hazelbaker, communications director for Sen. John McCain's presidential campaign, said that "to imply that Gov. Palin is or has ever been an advocate of charging victims for evidence gathering kits is an utter distortion of reality."
"As her record shows, Gov. Palin is committed to supporting victims and bringing violent criminals to justice," Hazelbaker said. "She does not, nor has she ever believed that rape victims should have to pay for an evidence gathering test."

Either the campaign is so devoid of political savvy as to not have Palin deny this, or the campaign has good reasons to fear further press investigations. Well the McCain campaign also cannot trust Palin to campaign without McCain. Numerous reasons why Palin does not deny this accusation - and all suggest negative conclusions about Palin.
If the problem did not exist, a politically savvy Palin would have personally done the denials AND earned political points for doing so. She did not or could not. Either way, that is the damning fact – just another problem with the right wing’s perfect choice.
Even George Jr was not so dumb as to be kept mute on the campaign trail.
