Report: Sarah Palin, in a Towel, Greets Top McCain Advisers

Rather than admit that they ran a train wreck of a campaign, McCain advisers are trying their hardest to put the blame squarely on the shoulders of Alaska Governor Sarah Palin. The latest bit of news (if we can call it that), is a story leaked out of the campaign that Governor Palin greeted several top aides wearing nothing but a skimpy wet towel.

Now this is hardly a big of faux pas as George HW Bush's "read my lips" quote in the 1988 campaign, or a serious story like Kitty Dukakis's alleged drinking of rubbing alcohol in the same race.

What it is, really, is the McCain campaign shrugging off responsibility for losing a campaign they really should have won. When we take a look at the exit polls in any other campaign year McCain would have won.

What they failed to realize was this truly was a year of change. 30% of the voters were under the age of thirty. 1 in 10 voters voted for the first time. Those are huge numbers and the Obama campaign had a strong get out the vote effort. I personally was contacted no less then 10 times by Obama ground people making sure I was going to vote.

Beyond all of that this is another of those weird stories we hear about campaigners that apparently do not get along all that well. There was that story of Palin buying 150,000 worth of clothes, of her alleged wrong doing in the firing of a State official.

Even though she was cleared of any wrongdoing in that case, the far left and McCain supporters still find time to run her down. In fact the 2008 campaign was filled with off the wall stories and alleged wrongdoing by all of the participants.

Remember when Barrack Obama said that his campaign had not let travel to all 64 states? Or when Hillary Clinton claimed to fly into Serbia under sniper fire?

Compared to those stories a woman in a towel after working what must be 20 hour days doesn't seem like much of a story. However once the press is in gotcha mode there is no telling what kind of nonsense we will hear about.
