Chafee: Palin A 'Cocky wacko'

From Politico ~ Republicans are holding back because it's 9/11, but you can be sure tomorrow they'll be all over former Sen. Lincoln Chafee's comments. Palin, Chafee said yesterday in Washington, is a "cocky wacko."

Chafee was a Republican senator but now backs Obama. He and other Obama supporters are unhappy at the response Palin is getting, and, politics being politics, their response is to criticize the GOP vice presidential nominee.

But every time they do so in a personal or semi-personal fashion, Republicans will seize upon the attacks to garner more sympathy for a woman they're portraying as under siege.

[Meanwhile, Palin's first interview with ABC-TV's Charlie Gibson produced no major surprises, with Palin fielding his questions and explaining previous comments and her positions on numerous issues.]
