Do McCain and Palin speak to each other? Rather, does Rove speak to Palin?

Here's a tidbit from a local outlet. Kind of interesting.

WOOD-TV

updated 12:30 a.m. HT, Sat., Oct. 4, 2008

DALLAS (AP) -- Sarah Palin questioned Republican presidential candidate John McCain's decision to abandon efforts to win Michigan, a campaign move she only learned about Friday morning when she read it in the newspapers.

In an interview with Fox News Channel Friday, the Alaska governor said she was disappointed that the McCain campaign decided to stop competing in Michigan. In an indication that the vice presidential candidate had not been part of the decision, she said she had "read that this morning and I fired off a quick e-mail" questioning the move.

"Todd and I, we'd be happy to get to Michigan and walk through those plants of the car manufacturers," Palin said, referring to her husband. "We'd be so happy to get to speak to the people in Michigan who are hurting because the economy is hurting."

Update:

ProUSA2: Yes, I disagree with my boss quite a bit. However, I don't air it in public, and especially during something important like this. She IS the VP candidate, and she should NOT be crossing her "boss" at this point in this tight campaign.

Source: I'm a former campaign strategist, and just plain old common sense.

Update 2:

BTW, I'm very pro-USA, an evangelical Christian, a moderate Democrat, and I'm voting Democrat (a former Hillary supporter).

    I really don't think they get along anymore. Palin is making a move to distance herself from McCain. If you watch some of her recent rallies, Palin has gone "off the script" and is doing her own thing.

    My guess is that, if Ted Stevens wins his seat in the Senate, but has to give it up due to censure - Sarah Palin will recommend herself to the Senate.

    Plenty of people speak to her, but she isn't interested in listening. Or in much other than Sarah Palin. She's still in a beauty pageant!

    She's not a puppet...she DOES have her own mind and make her own decisions, some of which may not agree with McCain.

    Do you ALWAYS agree with YOUR boss?? No one does!!!! We need a vice president that will speak his/her mind...do you not agree??

    Palin speaks gibberish and then winks, assuming that's enough to sway voters.

    He used her for votes only and he found out that he is losing votes because of her.
