We All Suspected McCain and Palin Didn't Get Along

From their awkward interactions during the few televised moments they were together, it was obvious that McCain and Palin made an odd couple. He could barely look at her, and they didn't seem ever to be on the same wavelength, prepared with the same sound bites or with any kind of coherent response to the media.

From this New York Times article:

"The disputes between the campaigns centered in large part on the Republican National Committee’s $150,000 wardrobe for Ms. Palin and her family, but also on what McCain advisers considered Ms. Palin’s lack of preparation for her disastrous interview with Katie Couric of CBS News and her refusal to take advice from Mr. McCain’s campaign.

But behind those episodes may be a greater subtext: anger within the McCain camp that Ms. Palin harbored political ambitions beyond 2008."

Tina Fey joked about Palin "going rogue" at the end of McCain's appearance on Saturday Night Live...

...but the Times reports that Palin wanted to make her own speech before McCain's concession speech on Tuesday evening. Now that's one ambitious pitbull with lipstick. As disgusting as that experience would have been, I'm happy McCain's advisers shot Palin's idea down, like a hunter from a helicopter.
