1. She needs to stay long enough.....

...to permanently ruin McCain's chances. Another week or so should do the trick.

3. GO!!as a human being and an American citizen I don't want to risk endangering the country and the
world.

As a crass partisan, I would prefer her to stay because I am fairly confident that there will be enough information brought to the publics attention well before election day that will help contribute to the defeat of McCain.

But in the spirit of duty, honour and country..this is not a risk worth taking. It's simply too dangerous.

5. Agree totally
The country can't afford the risk... What if they steal the election again. We'd be in really really deep shit

4. Go. The damage has been done anyway.
People will be constantly questioing his judgement after this. And this entirely neutalizes McCain's questioning Obama's judgement.

Send her packing. Let McCreep be exposed for the incompetent, volatile, drooling dirty old idiot he is.

9. Stay Until She HAs Officially Accepted The Nomination
Then, I don't give a shit.

Right now, she's completely McCain;s problem.

Once she accepts the nonmination, she does so with the approval of the entire party and thus her stain is on the entire Republican Party.

After that, I don't care.

either way McCain is, to quote Kerry, "erratic.

11. Pailin will serve as an example to the American electorate
what happens if an actual fundie gets on the ticket. It will remind them what is at stake for them.

12. I think 80s singer Paul Young can answer this question.

But seriously, if she doesn't STAY, if she's kicked off the ticket, that hurts the GOP more than if she stays.

15. GO...because I love this country and want
what's best for it and having this inexperienced immoral person a heartbeat away from someone who could become president is just plain WRONG.

16. I couldn't care less. It's not about her or McCain. It's about Obama and Biden!
We have a tremendously strong ticket, regardless who is on the other side.

17. It would be more damaging to McCain if Palin resigned. Like a rat abandoning a sinking ship. n/t

18. I'm torn.
I like entertainment as much as the next person, but I'd also love to see McCain being forced to eat crow so publicly. That would be entertainment too, when you think about it.
