Yesterday in Tuscon, Sarah Palin made her first public appearance with John McCain since the two former running mates conceded the 2008 presidential election. Palin spoke at a rally supporting McCain's bid for re-election for one of Arizona's Senate seats. McCain will be challenged by J.D. Hayworth in the Republican primary, as McCain has recently faced criticism for being too moderate. One of the groups that has declined to support McCain for his moderate stand includes the Tea Party, a group with which Palin has recently been associated. But Palin seemed to be connecting the Tea Party movement with McCain, saying "Everybody here, supporting John McCain, we are all part of that Tea Party movement. I think he's gonna win this one." Hmm, interesting. Does McCain want to be part of the Tea Party movement? I don't think so, as it seems too extreme for him, the politician who has always claimed to be moderate and to reach across the isle. I doubt Palin's endorsement will help McCain win re-election, as anything that Palin is connected with is seen with amusement and scrutiny by much of the public. Palin seems to appeal to only a very narrow demographic, and everyone else dislikes her. Thus, I think it was a mistake for McCain to bring in Palin for the rally and I thought he would have learned his lesson after the past presidential election. Want more Sarah?
