From the McCain interview with Leno:
Quote:
Leno: Now, these aides that were criticizing her -- and I think everyone agrees there were Republican aides who were criticizing her. I know you wouldn't go for that. I know you're an old soul. You don't let people talk -- but why?
McCain: One -- these things happen in campaigns too. I think I have at least a thousand, quote, top advisors. "A top advisor said" -- people I've never even heard of, much less a, quote, top advisor or a high-ranking Republican official. It's -- these things go on in campaigns, and you
Leno: Why don't we just move on.

McCain on Leno's Tonight Show: interview video / transcript | read my mind
If these "top aids" don't have the courage to make their statements in public they are cowards and lack character. People make mistakes, Obama visited 57 states, Bidden talked about FDR's comments on TV and didn't know how many letters are in jobs - in most cases people have a chuckle and move on. People hate Palin in a manner that is not normal, I don't get it. But, I really like the fact that she is not affraid to stand strong, face her critics and give it back with a smile. She is one of my heroes.
