Everyone has been hearing that the McCain campaign is keeping Sarah Palin on a short leash. Apparently, they don't want her saying too much to certain people. So when she made comments about her wardrobe in a rally on Sunday, the McCain aides were not happy. "Those clothes, they are not my property. Just like the lighting and the staging and everything else that the RNC purchased, I'm not taking them with me."
Even though the McCain aides were upset she went off the script that they had prepared for her, Palin associates said she wanted to say something to defend herself. She wants to be able to speak out about what she wants. Whether or not she should have compared her clothing to lighting and staging is another argument.
As PR professionals, we can prep our clients the best we can. Ultimately, we have no control over what they say when it's crunch time. What can we do when things get out of our hands? Damage control?
