It looks like Sarah Palin will be campaigning for Senator McCain’s re-election in Arizona.
(I have a feeling that this will be at least ONE of the roles she will play…campaigning for GOP candidates).
Question for those who know Arizona
I think McCain is a good man, and that with the unpopularity of the DEMS and the President, he wouldn’t necessarily have to bring out any “Big Guns” this year.
Is he a) facing stiff GOP competition and/or b) is he not as popular in Arizona as I thought?
Anyway…I think that we will be seeing a lot of Sarah Palin over the next few years.

There was a documentary on British television yesterday about Obama’s first year in the presidency ( Guys, what happened? ).
Having highlighted how Obama was disappointing a lot of people, Palin was highlighted singing her books, going on a solo campaign and having a fan base where these Americans were saying they expect to see her as a front runner in 2012.
Even the GOP does not view her as a “viable” candidate…
Yet.
Palin “seems” to be the only one “stepping up to the plate” and testing the waters.
John Boehner seems to be more concerned about his tan…And sorry, guys. Voting “no” is not governing (and before anyone even suggest it; I don’t think that the DEMS are governing any better).
Again…at least Palin is out there nurturing her base.
He was blasted at his townhall meetings last summer. Many of his constituents view him as liberal lite and rightly so. I lived in Phoenix for 5 years though it was long time ago. Lots of retirees there who are none to thrilled by his reach out to the Dems on healthcare attitude.

Back to the original question;
Any idea why McCain wants/needs her help with his Arizona Senate race?

Yes, because McCain, even though he has seniority in the Senate, he’s really a weak, milquetoast Republican candidate. Palin is a great mouth piece for the R-party, not so much a viable candidate anymore. She has the charisma (for those who agree with her) and the audience to mobilize the core of the R-party, a basic need for any candidate.
Personally, I’d like to see McCain just… go away. It is kind of weird for her to have to campaign for him. Maybe it’s just going through the motions in gratitude for bringing her to the national stage.
IMO, McCain (as well as Snowe and a couple others) are the embodiment of what is wrong with the Republican Party (Note: I am not a Republican).
The recent SCOTUS ruling against the abomination (Obamanation) that is McCain-Feingold is refreshing that there is still a smidge of hope for the Constitution.
