This story broke shortly after the election. Many people had been wondering what the McCain campaign really thought of Sara Palin after reports surfaced that there was tension between their respective aides.
Apparently, McCain aides weren’t too fond of Palin, mad at her for a number of reasons, most notably, the clothing incident, the Africa country incident, and the French president incident.
Palin reacted by calling most of her gaffes misunderstandings, and said it was ‘mean spirited’ of the McCain aides to criticize her in that way. McCain himself apparently told the aides to stop talking about Palin negatively.
It’s hard to separate fact from fiction here, but since none of the McCain aides will go on record, I would assume there is at least a fair amount of fiction to a number of their claims, more likely they are bitter about the loss, happy to scapegoat Palin, and perhaps regret their choice of a fairly questionable (especially in retrospect) VP candidate.
