Any chance Sarah will withdraw her name as VP --- only to set up a different VP pick? |
|
A little conspiracy theory here, but some friends and I were wondering if Sarah is being purposefully set up as the fall guy (or gal), just to allow McBush to replace her with someone a little less evangelical like Tom Ridge?
I don't put anything past Rove - who I figure still works out of the White House basement.

1. No Sinister Purpose or Agents |
|
But yes, I think it's very possible that she is replaced.

2. IT would be devestating to his campaign. |
|
Replacing Eagleton with Shriver destroyed McGovern.
It would end any chance McCain had of winning the election.

4. It is too late now. They still have hope that Palin will become a loved celebrity. nt |

9. That's why she would withdraw --- still, it would call into question his judgement... |
|
For making such an ill fated choice in the first place. This scenerio seems to be a win/win one for Dems. She stays or goes - it spins bad for the pukes.

3. Even if so, we have to make this about his piss-poor judgement |
|
"At the very least, the process reflects Mr. McCain’s history of making fast, instinctive and sometimes risky decisions. "I make them as quickly as I can, quicker than the other fellow, if I can," Mr. McCain wrote, with his top adviser Mark Salter, in his 2002 book, "Worth the Fighting For." "Often my haste is a mistake, but I live with the consequences without complaint."

6. No, she is doing what the AIP wants - |
|
infiltrate national parties to promote the secession of Alaska.

7. So why not just nominate Ridge in the first place? |
|
What would the McCain campaign gain from deliberately making themselves look incompetent in this way? I don't get it :shrug:

8. Once her and her Gramps sign the papers to add their name to the ballot |
|
Her name is there through November if I am not mistaken.
