Even if the McCain campaign wonโ€™t, โ€œTeam Sarahโ€ comes to the defense of Sarah Palin:

โ€œI have news for everyone โ€“ the campaign is over. Unfortunately, the hateful campaigning against Governor Sarah Palin continues on, perpetuated by those threatened by her meteoric rise,โ€ said Team Sarah Co-Founder Jane Abraham. โ€œDespite the unfounded vitriol and criticism, Governor Palinโ€™s success will endure. Sarah Palinโ€™s success story is just beginning and it will take more than some baseless remarks from a few malcontents to stop her rise in American politics. Governor Palin will continue to influence American politics: her reputation as a fighter against corruption, an expert on energy, and a voice for modern American women balancing work and family cannot and will not be ignored.โ€
Sarah Palin previously served as Chair of the Alaska Oil and Gas Commission. As Alaska Governor, she earned approval ratings over 80% after challenging corruption within her own party and successfully negotiating the construction of a natural gas pipeline. Her vice presidential candidacy attracted millions of supporters nationwide.
โ€œTeam Sarahโ€™s thousands of members remain as engaged as ever on TeamSarah.org,โ€ said Team Sarah Co-Founder and Susan B. Anthony List President Marjorie Dannenfelser. โ€œAs soon as the post-election criticism and blaming began, Team Sarah members reasserted their commitment to and defense of Americaโ€™s brightest female political starโ€”Alaska Governor Sarah Palin. She has inspired millions, and her audience of enthusiastic support will only grow in the future.โ€
