There was a problem with the site in the link, and I was not able to see the article or view the list. But this is something that has been in the mainstream news lately as well. There were a few pundits after the VP debate who said they felt Palin did a lot better job of salvaging HER OWN image in the debate than she did helping McCain in the election --- some of them thought she was looking ahead to her own career after McCain loses. And there have been a few stories about McCain's primary rivals, like Huckabee and Romney, weakening their support of McCain, probably looking forward to 2012 as well. Some time back I posted an article about how 25 Republican candidates in Washington state, including the Republican who is running for governor, not listing Republican as their party affiliation! They are Republicans, but they don't want the word next to their names --- not only throwing McCain under the bus, throwing the whole party.

This election has the feeling of a total rout. Republicans don't seem to even be fighting their defeat --- they are breaking ranks, turning on each other, throwing down their weapons, and running for their lives.
