Read this article. Here are some gems:
Several McCain advisers have suggested to CNN that they have become increasingly frustrated with what one aide described as Palin "going rogue."
"She is a diva. She takes no advice from anyone," said this McCain adviser. "She does not have any relationships of trust with any of us, her family or anyone else.
"Also, she is playing for her own future and sees herself as the next leader of the party. Remember: Divas trust only unto themselves, as they see themselves as the beginning and end of all wisdom."
"Her lack of fundamental understanding of some key issues was dramatic," said another McCain source with direct knowledge of the process to prepare Palin after she was picked. The source said it was probably the "hardest" to get her "up to speed than any candidate in history."
"She's no longer playing for 2008; she's playing 2012," Democratic pollster Peter Hart said. "And the difficulty is, when she went on 'Saturday Night Live,' she became a reinforcement of her caricature. She never allowed herself to be vetted, and at the end of the day, voters turned against her both in terms of qualifications and personally."
There is a reason that McCain's judgment should be questioned.

I just did not understand the Palin pick. If it was meant as shock and awe then yes it worked for a minute. However, you can not sustain pretty fireworks for long after a point they become repetitive and uninteresting. That is what Palin is a fireworks display.
I also am wary of this leaked information of her Rouge attitude. Palin does not appear happy maybe she is desperately trying to keep her position of Governor when the next election comes around.
I know people are concerned about her setting herself up to run for office in 2012. I don’t see this happening she would have to be a complete and I mean complete moron to run for the Presidency. Palin evokes either strong feelings adore or dislike she is by far even more polarizing than Hillary.
