McCain made her a liability as she was upstaging him. He would have no part of it as he muzzled her.Palin was a liability to the McCain campaign every time she opened her mouth.
And you would be correct my friend. I actually worked on the campaign. We started receiving texts or emails not to say anything negative regarding to his possible religion or even mention his middle name or church. We were not allowed to do any of that in the districts I was in. I think the media was reporting 80% negative stories on McCain compared to about 25% negative stories on Obama. It was lopsided in the positive media coverage when it came to favor-ability for Obama. Anything deemed negative a campaign staffer allegedly would say, the media would label the whole campaign racist. Even McCain was so sensitive he even apologized for radio host Billy Cunnigham for mentioning Obama's middle name at a McCain rally prior to McCain taking the stage. You're right, McCain didn't want Palin to upstage him and her campaign stops received 30% more people than he.
