Future of the Republican Party?

Governor Sarah Palin is headed back to Alaska, apparently with $150,000 in new clothing and a lot of ill will with John McCain's staff. In what seems like an effort to prevent her from further damaging the Republican Party, McCain's staff are starting to talk and Fox News is on the warpath.

From the Los Angeles Times:

Fox News reported Wednesday that Palin's lack of knowledge on some topics also strained relations. Carl Cameron reported that campaign sources told him Palin had resisted coaching before her faltering Katie Couric interviews; did not understand that Africa was a continent rather than a country; and could not name the three nations that are part of the North American Free Trade Agreement -- the United States, Canada and Mexico.

Wow. When Fox News is slamming a Republican, you know they've got to be pretty bad.
