Bet on Palin's longevity as V.P. candidate. (I think she'll leave the race before Thursday if

[skip fox]

she is going to go. McCain can never allow for it to appear as though she is running away--which would imply that he had picked someone wrong for the task).

So, if she's in at the end of the day tomorrow, McCain will prob. stick with her to the bitter end.

1. "I'm Sarah Palin and you're not"

That's how I see her. Right now the only thing she's doing is practicing the latest talking points developing today.

[Mandate My Ass]

2. Thursday can't get here fast enough for me

IMHO she'll do the debate and it will be the end of her. :rofl:

3. The fix is already in. Haven't you heard?

Todd Palin is already complaining what Sarah's schedule is doing to the family.

She will drop out to spend more time with her family. That's the way they're going to work it, because family is always a good reason to quit, right?

5. Tomorrow, then, right?

Though I'd love to see her desert the stage in tears (even figuratively) on Thurs. and then watch McCain explain that!

[Tallison]

6. Oooh-oh! Link? nt

[Contrary1]

4. Either way, McCain is done. Works for me. n/t

[skip fox]

7. Point is, if they are thinking of bumping her off the ticket, they can't wait until

after the debate because if she fails it will be too obvious.

[paparush]

8. Scenario 1. "Complication with daughter's pregnancy."

Scenario 2. Todd Palin caught in compromising position with truck stop hooker. Blames wife's busy schedule.

Scenario 3. Sudden diagnosis of some heretofore undiagnosed illness.
