Alright: What will be the reason for Palin to skip the VP debate?
Clearly the McCain campaign doesn't want her exposed at all. They have Giuliani hitting the media tonight for their spin instead of Palin.

I'm betting on a "family crisis."

What do yall think?

3. Because she's been dumped for Romney
McCain campaign will be DESPERATE. Their petty stunts this week backfired and McCain lost the most crucial debate. Now they will face an entire week with the media slavering over Palin's coming humiliation.

McCain is a gambler. He may take the biggest gamble of all.

4. Bristol having a "miscarriage."
Of course, I shouldn't type that, because it will give them ideas. But, if it happens, you heard it here first.

20. I've been expecting that anyway, since I think Bristol already gave birth, to Trig.

5. The anti-witchcraft touch will be wearing off ...
... so she won't take the chance of being cari-, cari-, mocked.

9. She doesn't want to be subjected to anymore of these horrible,
sexist attacks by the librul media.

She's just a regular gal; why do all of you elitist meanies have to keep asking her all of them hard questions?!!

11. I think she'll be there
but I sure wouldn't want to be her. She'll do what McCain did exponentially - not answer the questions and go on spin cycle with memorized talking points and lies.

24. My cat would be a better president than Palin. He'd do less harm.
My cat is intelligent, graceful, and dignified. He's old, but he's still a good jumper. While he doesn't speak English, he would be a gracious and charming host to heads of state. And he never causes trouble or starts wars.

22. Family emergency...
or we will get a MIHOP event in Alaska that will "require" her to return there for a day or 2.


Though, she is due to take a TX 2 day tour for cash starting the day after the debate, so it will be an emergency that will only keep her "unavailable" for 24 hours!
Notice they send her to a repuke friendly state the day after she is due to get beaten up at her debate!
