Mitt Romney to McCain: Let Palin Be Palin

Mitt Romney correctly criticizes Team McCain on the handling of Sarah Palin.

“Holding Sarah Palin to just three interviews and microscopically focusing on each interview I think has been a mistake,” Romney said. “I think they’d be a lot wiser to let Sarah Palin be Sarah Palin. Let her talk to the media, let her talk to people.”

Palin’s limited availability to the press has been repeatedly criticized by Democrats.

Romney, who was on McCain’s running mate short list, said that, ultimately, Palin’s “maverick” credentials will boost the GOP ticket in November.

McCain’s handlers are renown for micro-managing. Remember the Soren Dayton flap early on?

Let Sarah hit the talk shows and even SNL with Tina Fey.

Next, bring Mitt Romney back to Washington to help craft a GOP successor to the disastrous bailout bill that failed to win passage in the House today.
