Palin: McDonnell Personally Asked For My Help -- Then Changed His Mind

Republican gubernatorial candidate Bob McDonnell repeatedly and personally asked former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin for help this summer in his campaign for Virginia governor, a Palin spokeswoman said.

But by late August, Palin learned that the McDonnell campaign no longer wanted her assistance, Palin adviser Meg Stapleton said in an interview tonight.

So, he was for her ... before he was against her? Sarah could tell you that's not the way to build bridges.

Your right she is not obama. Thank goodness, we can't handle another one!

[ellawensmom]

Yeah, we got your little "funny" the first time around.

What I don't unstand about this article and Stapleton's interview is why broadcasting the fact that GOP leaders are backing away from her is the message they want put out. That doesn't make sense. Why let everyone know that they no longer want her help??? Seems counter-productive to their efforts.

It's funny reading that article and seeing Meg Stapleton still refers to Citizen Sarah as The Governor. What a toadying sycophant.

Say it ain't so, Joe! Ahem, I mean Bob.

My. That's such a flattering picture of Her Empress...

I was just reading something interesting. Palin's minions have been busy. Team Sarah apparently did a phone blitz on the senate against the health reform that Sarah doesn't like because as long as she has health care - who cares? (And they, in the inept way that always goes in tandem with all things Palin, chose October 12, to do it. Federal holiday. Ta da. Swift crowd there. It must be the air blowing between their ears that puts that wind beneath their wings).

But not resting on their laurels, it seems that her Conservatives for Palin crew are planning a newly formed coalition to help their poster girl. It seems her flying monkeys are re-forming to "Stand Up For Our Nation". Or more accurately the flying monkeys are standing up for the wicked w*tch of Wasilla with yet another freakish attempt to keep her relevant.

I wholeheartedly endorse all efforts of Palin and her team to get themselves black listed from any communication with senior republican campaign staff around the United States.

Better to leave the calls unanswered than risk Sarah attempting to alientate her base against you for some perceived slight of not giving her free PR on the campaign circuit at the expense of your electoral chances.

Palin is like the Gravina Island Highway - the road to nowhere. She lacks education and political knowledge, she is no Obama. Her road ended when she spewed her negative venom.

Day old cupcake.

Sarah, Sarah, Sarah...its called Politics for a reason.

[AlaskanToo]

Someone please remove the batteries from the Mega mouth. I can take no more.

Yep. Palin will move mountains for McDonald. That's right folks, Palin thinks she can move mountains... naturally with the Lords assistance. And I understand that the Lords people have been in touch with Palin adviser Meg Stapleton. The brain drain continues...

"There was a time earlier on when she was Governor that I thought she would come here, but now she's busy with books and other things."

Read, "I don't wanna be labeled a Quitter, too."

Sarah believes in book burning. I would be funny if one day Wasilly burns her Going Rogue book.

It never happened. If it did, it would mean that a Republican actually has a something other than a hard-wired Reptilian brain.
