Ensign says Palin not up to being president
Politico.com
Nevada Sen. John Ensign, who heads the NRSC, said in a Las Vegas interview late this week that Joe Biden is more qualifed than Sarah Palin and that an argument can be made that she has hurt the ticket.
Ensign's analysis is perhaps the most extended critique of the Palin pick and her subsequent rollout from any prominent Republican.
His comments come as the NRSC moves to distance itself from McCain, airing ads in two races that assume the GOP nominee will lose and warning of complete Democratic control of the capital.
Some Republicans, including those not tied to McCain's campaign, believe Ensign is already moving to shift blame for Senate losses.
"No doubt it has been a tough year, but he's been so undisciplined," said one senior Senate aide, noting these and other candid comments about the GOP's dim prospects. Ensign, this official said, must take some of the blame for the party's poor recruitment of Senate challengers.
