Events reveal that the McCain Bunglers, also known as his presidential campaign staff, have taken the vice-presidential candidate decision and enhanced on the momentum that the Arizona senator generated when he was unaware of how many houses he owned.

A significant element of the McCain campaign strategy as it sought to run away from the record of its own party with the George Bush-Dick Cheney stewardship was to paint a picture of the Arizonan, with better than a generation in Washington as a congressman and senator, as holding a large experience edge over Barack Obama during tense domestic and international times.

In an endeavor to spurn McCain's apparent preference of Joe Lieberman for the vice-presidential nomination due to pressures from the religious right over Lieberman's pro-choice belief, Sarah Palin, a newcomer with an astounding level of inexperience, particularly in the foreign policy field, was selected.

When the mainstream media understandably questioned McCain's choice and began examining her qualifications to serve one heart beat removed from a cancer survivor of 72, the Arizonan's "gang that can't shoot straight" began howling "sexist smear" while choosing not to recognize that any choice resembling someone of Palin's background would have been given curious and thorough media scrutiny.

As Watergate and the ultimate fate of Richard Nixon have taught us, it is often not the original act or acts but how one does or does not respond the matters in the end.

Could this axiom be the ultimate decider in the political career of Governor Sarah Palin of Alaska?  The Watergate analogy is apt in that both figures have operated with the same degree of arrogance and open defiance.

When Nixon chose to fight by stonewalling rather than co-operate with authorities he set into motion a series of events over which he was ultimately toppled.  

Palin is following the same path in the case of Special Prosecutor Steven Branchflower as she responds through the McCain campaign that she will no longer cooperate with ongoing efforts following the issuance of subpoenas, with the list including her own husband.
