John McCain to meet Sarah Palin (hopefully to muzzle her)

(CNN) – Despite the post-election battle between Sarah Palin and John McCain's campaign advisors, the former Republican presidential candidate told CNN’s Larry King both members of the GOP ticket remain “very close.”
McCain — who has been edging his way back into the spotlight Palin never quite left — dismissed questions over his running mate’s criticism of his campaign team. “Listen, I think the world of Governor Palin, her husband Todd, her family, I'm honored that she would run with me,” he said in an interview set to air Thursday at 9 pm ET.
“And look, whenever there is a losing campaign there is always a little bit of back and forth, and it happens post-mortem. I am so grateful to have her as a friend, and I believe that she represents a lot to the Republican Party in the future. I think she has a big role to play.”

Palin and senior McCain aides, many of them anonymous, have traded criticism since the Republican ticket’s defeat.
Last month, the Alaska governor told Human Events that following the campaign’s media strategy was her biggest regret of the race. “I was not allowed to do very many interviews, and the interviews that I did were not necessarily those I would have chosen,” she said. “But I was so thankful to have the opportunity to run with John McCain that I was not going to argue with the strategy decisions that some of his people were making regarding the media contacts…if I would have been in charge, I would have wanted to speak to more reporters, because that’s how you get your message out to the electorate.”
The Arizona senator would not tell King Thursday whether he was personally stung by Palin’s criticism of his top aides. “Look, we're very close friends, and I talk to her all the time and look forward to seeing her, I think, in a week or so,” he said. “We're very close.”
McCain also side-stepped the question of whether he’d ever raised those comments with her. “Oh — these things always happen in campaigns,” he said. “She has my respect and my affection and that's undying.”
Last month, he told an interviewer Sarah Palin could not necessarily count on his support his former running mate if she chose to run for president.
"I can't say something like that. We've got some great other young governors,” he told ABC then. “I think you're going to see the governors assume a greater leadership role in our Republican Party," he said, citing Governors Tim Pawlenty of Minnesota and Jon Huntsman of Utah.
“…Have no doubt of my admiration and respect for her and my view of her viability, but at this stage, again … my corpse is still warm, you know?"
McCain says he and Palin plan to meet this month

It's like the political ticket that won't die. Where's Tina Fey at?

So they're close, but he wouldn't support her. Big surprise.

[greysfang]

John is so stupid, Sarah isn't going to fuck him anymore now that he has nothing to offer her.

[WhoAmI]

I doubt he wants to fuck her, now that he knows what she's like.

[cmmdee]

^^ Or he already did. Perhaps she gave him a moose-huntin' style blow job upon his selection of her as vp nom.

I believe that she represents a lot to the Republican Party in the future

Now that's a fucking scary thought. That woman is so ass backwards that it's disturbing beyond words.

Clearly, liberals fear a Strong Woman like Sarah Palin.

I smell a lot of bullshit in those words. I appreciate the fact that he's not throwing her under the bus, since he's the idiot who picked her in the first place.

He won't support her, but he says she has important role in the future. Is that as a Republican blow-up doll?

Anyway, he's trying to fudge it, which is what politicians do. He made a royal fuck-up and he knows he doesn't get a do-over. In any sense of the word.

Yes. She's so strong that she says rape victims by incest should be given counseling and no abortion rights.

Girl power at it's finest!

What liberals feared was another ignorant, intellectually incurious Bible-thumper in or near the White House.

Thankfully, Gov. Palin most likely contributed to the opposite result.

Whatever her political future turns out to be, it's folks on the right who will determine it, not the left. She has more to fear from her own party than anything else.

Yes, but a strong woman like Hillary Clinton or nancy Pelosi is just fine. Did you seriously just call Palin a strong woman? LMAO!

[cmmdee]

^^ LOL, Greys.
Remember that whole, Women who don't support Sarah Palin, are going straight to hell???!!!

Yeah, because strong women whine and stomp their feet like a kid at Toys R Us.

No, liberals and everyone else with a brain fear having a moronic idiot in charge.
