"Even as John McCain and Sarah Palin scramble to close the gap in the final days of the 2008 election, stirrings of a Palin insurgency are complicating the campaign's already-tense internal dynamics.," reports Politico reporter Ben Smith in an article titled "Palin allies report rising campaign tension."

There are voters who may dislike John McCain's policies and platform, but if honest, must admit that McCain has experience in government. Although he voted with President Bush 90 percent of the time, and although he voted against a national Dr. Martin Luther King holiday and certain benefits for veterans, at least McCain has been to Washington and voters in Arizona have kept him there. The major problem for many voters who would prefer to vote Republican, is concern about McCain's age and inability to complete his term in office. That concern then turns to McCain's running mate.

If McCain is elected and does not survive his term of office, Sarah Palin will become president of the United States and Commander in Chief. Sarah Palin has been governor of the State of Alaska less than 2 years. What major hiring professional would give total responsibility of a corporation to a person with less than 2 years of executive experience?

Furthermore, what corporation, or hiring professional with good common sense, would hire a person with less than 2 years of executive experience, who has already been investigated and found to have abused her authority?

Does Sarah Palin have the knowledge, character and attitude to do what is best for America? That question might be answered by comments made by Palin's campaign aides.

The article reports, "The Alaska governor was, they argue, simply unready - "green," sloppy and incomprehensibly willing to criticize McCain for, for instance, not attacking Sen. Barack Obama ..."

"Some McCain aides say they had little choice with a candidate who simply wasn't ready for the national stage ... "

"An aide said that Palin's inexperience led her to her own mistakes."

"She's lost confidence in most of the people on the plane," said a senior Republican who speaks to Palin, referring to her campaign jet. He said Palin had begun to "go rogue" in some of her public pronouncements and decisions. "I think she'd like to go more rogue," he said."

It is Sarah Palin who disagrees with Senator McCain, and who has chosen buzz and code words to incite rally attendees to words of violence - even saying to kill Senator Obama. Sarah Palin's actions of doing what she wants and getting her way by causing hate and harm towards others, is what she postures as being a "maverick," when it is actually dirty politics.

The latest in dirty politics has been demonstrated by Ashley Todd, a McCain campaign volunteer, who used racial profiling to fraudulently allege a crime. Many readers have noted the report that Sarah Palin referred to Senator Obama as "sambo," so it comes as no surprise that Ashely Todd, bearing the last name of Palin's husband, used racial profiling in her made-up story shortly after Palin's $150K shopping spree for a wardrobe for her and her family was reported by the media.

The McCain campaign's ad of taking Senator Biden's words out of context is not helping the Republican ticket. When Senator Biden spoke about international crisis testing Senator Obama, he intended it as a compliment saying that Senator Obama has a "steel spine." McCain's ad conveniently leaves off the compliment.

And so, Senator McCain touts that he has been tested. Yes, he has. He was tested when tortured as a prisoner of war, and admits to being "broken." He was tested in Congress and voted with Bush 90 percent of the time. Senator McCain was tested when choosing a running mate. Rather than choose a running mate that has faced America's voters letting them know of their interest in having the highest position in the nation, McCain choose an opportunist, Sarah Palin, who is now letting it be known that she disagrees with McCain on numerous policies and procedures.

This is the same Sarah Palin who campaigned for governor of the State of Alaska by promising to build the Bridge to No Where. She lobbied Congress for the earmark. When it was discovered that the state needed to match the funds, Palin scrapped the project, but kept the money. In her campaign for VP, Sarah Palin criticized Senators Biden and Obama for voting to give her the money for the bridge - money that she asked for.

Sarah Palin betrayed the trust of Alaskans in her position as governor, per an investigative finding that she abused her power, and she still betrays - first the citizens of Alaska, then Senators Biden and Obama, and now Senator McCain.
