Jay Rosen pointed me to this Talking Points Memo.
Marshall makes a couple of points:
- Mark Halperin quotes George Stephanopoulos as saying that McCain has sent 10 people to Alaska to do more background work on Sarah Palin. He also says “Democrats say… the McCain campaign didn’t even go through Gov. Palin’s local newspapers.”
- ABC News Senior National Correspondent Jake Tapper reports that folks with the Alaskan Independence Party claim Palin was a member in 1994. Tapper describes the party as a “fringe” party even though it managed to get Walter Hickel elected governor in 1990.
Well, let’s see. Noted liberals Marshall, Halperin and Stephanopoulos, as well as “Democrats” have intimate knowledge of the working of the McCain campaign. Sure. [/sarcasm]
And, Palin may have belonged to a political party that was strong enough in Alaska to elect a governor.
Out of all that, one charge that amounts to balderdash, belonging to a political party with some power in her home state. God forbid, she might have joined the Democratic Party.
As for the supposed team of crack McCain operatives sent to Alaska, [giggle]. No, really [giggle].
