So quick you were to spread a falsehood and get this out that you too became an unwitting dupe to a con job on political pundits. As the great W.C. Fields so aptly stated, you can’t cheat an honest man. Somewhere I recall reading something about baring false wittness …… Now where was that and where is you retraction and apology to those you sinned against???

There were 300 people who worked on Romney’s campaign as full time employees. If 80% of them went to work for McCain, that means McCain hired 240 of them.

The guy who processed payroll checks is a “senior aide”???? I can tell you’ve never worked on a campaign.

Plus, Madden is not a McCain aide. The source of the leaks on Sarah Palin are McCain aides. If you want Republicans who were uneasy about the choice of Sarah Palin, there are plenty of people who expressed that view openly – Colin Powell, Ken Adelman, Lawrence Eagleburger, Peggy Noonan, Kathleen Parker, David Brooks, Larry Pressler, Chuck Hagel, Charles Krauthammer and on and on and on.

“If they’re an unnamed source, that says it all. I won’t comment on anyone’s gossip based on anonymous sources.”

Perhaps you should take that to heart when attacking an unnamed source with another unnamed source. Why should I believe your secret source over the secret source of Fox News and Newsweek?

For the record, there’s plenty more speculation on who leaked the information. Here’s Redstate’s guess: http://www.redstate.com/diaries/erick/2008/nov/05/operation-leper/

This gentleman is taking responsibility for the leaks revealing the details of Palin’s ignorance.

An excerpt from his bio:
“Mr. Eisenstadt works alongside Sen. John McCain’s presidential campaign, offering advice and liaising with the Jewish community in particular. Prior to that, he consulted on the Rudolph Giuliani campaign, ”

Thus, your attempt to pin the blame on former Romney staff members is dismissed as false speculation.

Though your source probably is correct about some Romney workers being absorbed by the top level of the McCain effort, just being present doesn’t implicate their guilt as you seem to think it does.

It’s obvious enough that it won’t be Romney. This here post/trend has a definative pro-Palin angle, but that could easily be a lingering sadness from McCain being soundly defeated.

The other concern being that I don’t think you and your associates are stupid enough to go for Palin. Running on the social conservative platform on a national level has already failed hard, and it’s only going to fail harder as the years pass.

Maybe DeMint would be good to go with? He’s been looking pretty good the past few months, on things like the bailout votes and trying to get that felon Ted Stevens out of the senate.

No you won’t go with Sanford, duh.

Huckabee might be able to do well in the next set of primaries?

Though your best bet is probably to stay out of it comepletely for another two years or so; any number of things could happen in that time, and the internet makes it difficult to revise the record of your opinions if you decide to change your song.

We should be mad at them, not Mitt.
