McCain vs. Palin

Kit, earlier I made the assertion that during the presidential campaign, the McCain staff tried their best to hold Palin's reigns tightly, since she was so outspokenly conservative. I found an article discussing that conflict in those ranks and I thought it would add some recentl historical perspective:

"But the ongoing tensions between McCain staffers (as well as subtle and perhaps not so subtle hints from McCain himself that he thinks the GOP should shop around before choosing a 2012 Presidential candidate) underscore Palin’s failure to mend political fences on the most fundamental, basic scale: with her own running mate’s staff. Moreover, this split seems to have personal as well as ideological roots: although Palin is painted as a political diva it’s no secret McCain is less predictable politically than Palin and she seemed to be unhappy at some of his less conservative stands."
