Please tell me this is a joke.
Please, someone, anyone- do not let Palin do this. Is she serious? McCain is a freaking RINO. Even I, as an unwashed Third Party Advocate, know this to be fact. Palin is sullying herself with even being in the same State as this guy.
I can’t figure it out. This is a bad move, Sarah. A really bad, stupid move. McCain is political death, and no amount of your true Conservatism is going to change that about him.
…okay, fine, whatever. It just makes me sick.
From Reuters. [Bold emphasis is mine]
WASHINGTON (Reuters) – Republican John McCain helped turn Sarah Palin into a household name during last year’s presidential campaign. Now she is returning the favor.
Palin, the former Alaska governor who was McCain’s vice presidential running mate last year, will campaign for McCain’s re-election bid as a senator from Arizona, the senator said in a statement on Wednesday.
Palin will be in Phoenix for events on March 26 and 27.
There has been plenty of sniping between the Palin and McCain camps after they lost the election to Democrat Barack Obama but McCain and Palin themselves have remained on friendly terms.
“I’m looking forward to getting back on the campaign trail with my former running mate, and I know my fellow Arizonans will welcome her as well,” McCain said. “Sarah energized our nation and remains a leading voice in the Republican Party.”
Palin said on her Facebook page that she will also be campaigning for Texas Governor Rick Perry, a Republican, and Minnesota Republican Michele Bachmann.
“We are already making plans to support the candidates our nation needs to make a difference and speak for everyday Americans,” she said. (Is she kidding? She really believes this about McCain?)
McCain has no announced challenger yet for the Republican nomination but conservative radio talk show host J.D. Hayworth has talked of possibly challenging the Vietnam war hero.
Palin is now a star of the Republican Party and a big draw on the fund-raising circuit. She is a Fox News contributor.
Her best-selling memoir, “Going Rogue,” talked of her Alaska upbringing and her frustrations with McCain’s top aides, who have denied her charges.

Payback is a bitch. (no pun intended)
I could see campaigning for McCain if there were no other candidate. A bad republican is better than a good democrat, simply for numbers sake. But there are other candidates running. We want common sense conservatives not same old incumbents, regardless of party. Jim Deakin is running against McCain. Not being from AZ I haven’t researched him a great deal. Just enough to know he is new and better blood. But I do know the long time career politicians are not the way to go. That is one reason I was (am) for Palin, but not McCain. McCain’s resume includes being a war hero and being able to reach across the aisle (make deals). Enough deal making… time to choose right over wrong.
