McCain aides privately call Palin a ‘total disaster.’»

"...The ongoing animosity may have something to do with the McCain campaign blaming Kristol for one its biggest problems -- picking Sarah Palin was his idea..... McCain aides see Palin as a "total disaster," and see Kristol as culpable."We've got a lot of finger-pointing going on within the camp, and I'd say there's a pretty broad agreement amongst a number of the senior-most advisors to McCain that the Palin pick is worse than disappointing. It's a total disaster, as one describes to me. And there is a sort of blame game going on there. [...] "I would say the anger and irritation between a number of the senior people in the McCain camp and Bill Kristol is become really acute.... They view this man as the guy who gave them this albatross, Sarah Palin. I think there's a lot of real anger about it. There's also recognition that it's too late to do anything."
