Four Republicans close to Palin said she has decided increasingly to disregard the advice of the former Bush aides tasked to handle her, creating tense situations as she travels the country with them. Those Palin supporters, inside the campaign and out, said Palin blames McCain for a tarnished public image -- even as others in McCain's camp blame the pick of the relatively inexperienced Alaska governor, and her public performance, for McCain's decline.
"She's lost confidence in most of the people in the McCain camp," said a senior Republican who speaks to Palin. He said Palin had begun to "go rogue" in some of her public pronouncements and decisions.
Anger among Republicans who see Palin as a star and as a potential future leader has boiled over because they see senior McCain aides preparing to blame her in the event he is defeated.
"These people are going to shred her after the campaign and divert blame from themselves," said a McCain insider.
