Apparently, there is trouble in the McCain/Palin campaign. CNN is reporting that advisors and sources close to the campaign say that Palin seems to be “going rogue” and has been going off message. In all honesty, in the recent interview that McCain and Palin had with NBC’s Brian Williams, I swear that McCain seemed a little uncomfortable every time Palin opened her mouth and added something to comments he had made.
It seems that the trouble between the presidential candidate and his running mate are getting harder to hide. One aid reported to CNN:
"She is a diva. She takes no advice from anyone," said this McCain adviser. "She does not have any relationships of trust with any of us, her family or anyone else.
"Also, she is playing for her own future and sees herself as the next leader of the party. Remember: Divas trust only unto themselves, as they see themselves as the beginning and end of all wisdom."
They also report that "A second McCain source says she appears to be looking out for herself more than the McCain campaign. "
While I am sure that all presidential campaigns have some friction between running mates, it seems clear that it this case, the nature of the problems seem to validate the fact that Palin isn’t ready for the big leagues, and McCain should have chosen someone else as his running mate.

From the moment she let slip the Palin/McCain administration in one of her speeches, I wondered if she wasn't aiming for higher office a bit prematurely. I'm wondering if she thinks she's got a chance to run for president on her own merits - or lack thereof? I know it seems unlikely that anyone would think she could rehabilitate herself, but when you spend day after day at rallies full of people who love you it may warp your perception.
