Palin vs. McCain Staffers

There is one paragraph that really sums up the McCain-Palin staffers versus Palin issue in this Wall Street Journal piece and here it is:

No one really cares by now who did what to whom. The important point is that Mrs. Palin isn't responsible for Tuesday's defeat. The sages who urged Mr. McCain to "suspend" his campaign and throw himself in the middle of bailout talks on Capitol Hill can take far more credit for the loss.

McCain's "leadership" on the Bailout did far more damage on Tuesday than anything that McCain's staffers think Palin did.
