Then he uses a former campaign manager´s comments about Palin and a gay themed book and seems to put forth the premise that this is substantiated information. It is quite possible that an overzealous follower of Palin wishes that this event occurred because it would make Palin even more attractive to this ONE follower and to other right wing wackos who are on the fence about the McCain ticket. I am sure we could have found former Clinton campaign managers that might put her in a negative light to some while making her seem more attractive to the former Clinton worker and the left wing radicals that are definitely out there. My point is that once again one political position trys to negate the other with unsubstantiated garbage. As an independent thinker and voter (Yes, I am a gay man who is NOT a blind lead the blind democrat!--nor am I a LOG CABIN whatever the hell that is REPUBLICAN!), I am tired of both sides digging up these boring trite revelations of each other. Bring to the table of conversation REAL facts and the TRUTH of more than one past campaign manager and then I will be happy to consider that information.
