The fix is off for Sarah Palin and the national consulting firm that was helping the Alaska governor raise money, Chris Cillizza reports in the Washington Post's The Fix.
Campaign Solutions, which was helping raise money for SarahPAC, has decided to bow out "after a series of strategic and philosophic differences, according to a source familiar with the decision,'' The Fix notes.
Campaign Solutions head Becki Donatelli has a long association with the fundraising of Arizona Sen. John McCain, the 2008 GOP nominee for president who tapped Palin as his running mate from a field of 26 candidates.
When Palin started a PAC of her own, it was seen as the start of staking a claim of her own to the national stage, possibly as a 2012 contender.
That, as The Fix notes, was before the 19-year-old father of Palin's grandchild Trig who has stepped out of the family picture after helping present that picture on the RNC stage in St. Paul last summer started his own TV talk show tour.
Levi Johnston, estranged beau of Bristol Palin, did Larry King Live this week.
Comments
The continual negative publicity for Sarah Palin is becoming moot.
Therefore, when she seeks higher (let's hope senator) the public won't care; everything has been washed and put up to dry by the media. We've seen the dirty laundry. Who cares? The public sees through the media game.
And to keep things balanced, because the Joseph Goebbels media doesn't; remember the drug czar's daughter, Ashley Biden, has a video of her snorting cocaine and she is aware of the video camera that's recording her. And the child is a SOCIAL WORKER...is she in rehab yet? Perhaps, the Dr. Drew show...someone ask Biden if she'll appear.

So Sarah Palin drags her family up on a national stage (literally) and releases endless press releases and brings them up at every campaign stop, demanding media coverage for her family.
And when it all turns out to be hypocrisy, and the media reports this thing people will obviously be interested in, this makes them LIKE THE NAZI'S?
How DARE the media report the truth instead of the endless neocon lies! Fascists!

Here's a hint "Fairness". Sarah Palin spouted endless nonsense on a national stage. The media reported the truth behind the lies.
Goebbels advocated repeating lies to the media in an attempt to portray that as truth.
Now, who's more like the nazi?

Fairness,
Is it liberal media, as conservatives whine, or ultra-right (Goebbels) media as you state? If it's moot, why are you scrambling to deflect?

Mark,
Pretty good - six days w/o a Palin story. That had to be pure hell for you.

Has anyone ever shouted in a canyon to hear and echo, and later discover that shouting in a cave produces about the same sound? Well, so goes it with more media coverage of the Palin trainwreck. Ho, hum.

I think the public sees through PALIN´S media game! It came back to bite her in the arse. She created it, but it´s out of her hands now.
the lady is a trainwreck...she´s pulling alot of gullable people along with her...but there are far less now. The jig is up.

I realize this is an old post, but what happened with this story? If they parted ways then why is her PAC still disbursing money to edonation.com which is a Campaign Solutions site?
