There is an air of both tragedy and farce as the Arizona Republican primary for the United States Senate comes to a conclusion this Tuesday. Incumbent John McCain has been forced into the sludge against an unworthy opponent, J.D. Hayworth, in what is likely to be the final campaign of his political career. He may have once branded himself a political reformer, but with John McCain, the democratic process has always come with a price attached.

There is reason to believe Palin is turning on her benefactors. She is eager to consolidate the right and deflect blame for her predicament.

This was one of those "spontaneous" things. Joe the Plumber had had his conversation with Obama about taxes, and the cameras had been rolling, and McCain had found out about it.

As part of her executive experience that the McCain campaign so highly promotes, Sarah Palin requested $2 million in earmarks that were classified as "objectionable pork" by.... John McCain.

The idea that a woman of such limited experience should suddenly emerge on the national stage and be a heartbeat away from the presidency without a thorough vetting process is very scary.
