John Hawkins: Meg Whitman is dead to me

*
Excellent John Hawkins post at Right Wing News today:
One the worst of McCain's staffers was Mike Murphy, who ripped on Sarah Palin like it was his new job. Where was the loyalty to the campaign? Where was the respect for all the conservatives that thought choosing Sarah Palin was the best move McCain made in the entire campaign?

[...]

So when Meg Whitman, who's running for governor, chose to hire Mike Murphy, what does it say?

It says that she holds Sarah Palin's many fans in the Republican party in absolute contempt. She thinks so little of them and feels their support is so unwanted for her campaign, that she's going to hire a guy like Mike Murphy, who made more of a name for himself trashing Sarah Palin than he did working for the McCain campaign.

Well, here's what I say: Any candidate who hires Mike Murphy, Steve Schmidt, or Nicolle Wallace -- the McCain staffers who trashed Palin -- that candidate is dead to me.

  1. Unfortunately, Meg Whitman hired Murphy away from Steve Poizner, Whitman's primary opponent. Given that, we fans of Sarah Palin have no Republican gubernatorial candidate this time around...

  2. This is strange since Meg Whitman was at the Sarah Palin's rally in Orange County in 2008. Maybe it is a simple strategic error and conservatives in California could still put enough pressure on Meg Whitman to get rid of Murphy.
