I'm thinking the Obama campaign HOPES Palin stays in it
It makes Joe Biden's job easier and the negative attention on McCain/Palin allows Obama/Biden to quietly make their stops in the battleground states and air their ads in those same states to einforce the message.

For me, I hope she stays in it too, and Republican stubbornness won't allow her to leave.

2. I hope she's in it at least through the debate with Biden.
That would be too delicious.

3. Yeah - sure helps when you let the facts lay where they will
But the real fear is that somehow those bastards steal yet another election and then we are faced with the prospect of gramps dying in office or even before he takes office.

God help us all.

4. absolutely, keep her
She's good for more votes/$$ to Obama/Biden. Besides, McPOW ain't gonna let them take his pick away from him, is he?

5. If she does stay in
Biden may want to guard against over confidence. She has to be easy to trounce in a debate for a guy like him. But to tell you the truth, I was sort of hoping to see a Biden/Giuliani debate because Biden would make him look foolish.

6. That's right. Palin's presence keeps the repugs on the defensive mode.
This is perfect cover for Obama/Biden. While the gop has to deal with spinning with all the issues surrounding Sara, Dems are able to quietly go about their business to getting elected.

8. It's already Wednesday - she speaks tonight.
If she accepts the nomination, getting rid of her will make a lot more noise.

I'm getting the feeling she's staying.

9. Although I don't see her fit for the office but if she stays in it shows McSame's lack of judgment.
This has turned into a comdey show. 2 unfit for the office vs 2 highly skilled with sound judgment and brain.
