What is John McCain Doing to Sarah Palin?

I have to wonder if Juan, (oops I meant John) McCain is as foxy as he looks. The man has been leading Republicans down the primrose path for ages, and it looks as if he may pull if off again. You would think that Arizona is a conservative state, but it looks like the silver fox may be turned loose once again in the Senate hen house to betray the Republican chickens and reach across the aisle.

Even Sarah Palin is campaigning for him, and you have to speculate if the destruction of her presidential aspirations isn't one of the points of the exercise. Of course, McCain wants to be elected, but he's a cunning fellow and I'm beginning to think a bit of a chess player also. After all, it was McCain's staff who did their best to tarnish the image of the bright star who rescued his campaign, but outshone him at every turn. What better way to drag her down to his level than to associate her with issues that will destroy her base? Amnesty? He's for it. Illegal immigration? No big deal. Global warming? He believes in it. Cap and trade? He's for it but not Obama's version. FDA control of the vitamins and supplements you need to stay healthy? He sponsored a bill to help big pharma.

Is there any way Palin can campaign for McCain without implying endorsement for all these positions? Can she say, "Vote for this man, but I disagree with him on all the major issues?" That won't work and McCain knows it. You would think an officer and a gentleman would protect her and her potential career. But no, he, I think despises her base, and just as he betrayed them on the issues, he will now betray their shining, bright hope.
