She threw dramatic temper tantrums over bad press. She refused to prepare for the Gibson or Couric interviews. ======== Summary of the FOX NEWS story from KOS. The McCain campaign didn't care that she was a complete moron because the poll numbers were favorable to the campaign....what a bunch of creeps. This really quite unbelievable. The GOP is not a professional, serious party it is completely out of control. ======== " Smith: Now that the election is over, Carl, tell us more about those reports of infighting between Palin and McCain staffers. Cameron: I wish I could have told you more at the time but all of it was put off the record until after the election. There was great concern in the McCain campaign that Sarah Palin lack the degree of knowledgeability necessary to be a running mate, a vice president, and a heartbeat away from the presidency. We’re told by folks that she didn’t know what countries that were in NAFTA, the North American Free Trade Agreement, that being the Canada, the US, and Mexico. We’re told she didn’t understand that Africa was a continent rather than a country just in itself ... a whole host of questions that caused serious problems about her knowledgeability. She got very angry at staff, thought that she was mishandled.....was particularly angry about the way the Katie Couric interview went. She didn’t accept preparation for that interview when the aides say that that was part of the problem. And that there were times that she was hard to control emotionally there's talk of temper tantrums at bad news clippings"
