What will happen with Palin?

[FlyingSquirrel]

Me, I think we're gonna be seeing some really funny Harriet Meiers / Sarah Palin cartoons pretty soon one way or another.

1. Go down with the ship.

like she should.

[Marsala]

2. She'll remain

The chance to throw her under the bus has passed. The only way they might still do that is if the affair pans out, and I think it would be too late at that point. If it is true, they'll probably just try to stonewall for eight weeks.

5. My god. 8 weeks... it just hit me that it's that close.

I've been out of the political scene for several months 'cause I just got burned out. 8 weeks. Dang.

[MrSlayer]

3. I think she stays.

Unless something really bad comes out she's going to be there. The Republicans are going to go with the trick play.

[FrenchieCat]

4. Her nickname is "gimmick".

[MrSlayer]

6. Perfect.

That's exactly what this ploy is.

[FrenchieCat]

8. Xctly!

:hi:

I'm feeling kind of good.

Watch Old man steal Obama's speech and call it his own tomorrow.

7. McCain himself said he makes rash decisions he has to live with.

[adamuu]

13. so glad he's willing to live with the consequences

too bad he's not the only one who suffers.

[Connonym]

9. I think she'll "withdraw" with the excuse of family pressures

and by withdraw I mean they'll push her ass out.

[AndyTiedye]

10. She'll Stay and the MSM Will Cover For Her

[curious one]

11. She just got on board the Titanic.

[saltpoint]

12. It's apparently the mcCain's team wish that she remain on the ticket

but after the speech in St. Paul, I think the next SEVERAL miles of highway are going to be rough and full of unexpected turns.

Maybe the National Enquirer affair story is a trap. But maybe it isn't.

And who knows what else McCain's team of attorneys will find -- the cadre he sent north a day or two ago.

And we haven't even gotten to the white-flame glare of media attention, press conferences, and interviews. They could keep her on a very tight leash but it's more trouble than it's worth when McCain needs a much more independent advocate. She doesn't have the savvy to politic in the contiguous states in the 24-7 cable news cycles. She's out of her league and then some.

I'd argue that anybody who storms into a public library to ask how to censor certain books is out of her league as a small-town mayor as well.

And finally there'll come the veep debate against Joe Biden.

McCain did himself no favors with the Palin pick.
