Countdown until Palin replaced by Jeb.
It could very well happen. McSame wanted Holy Joe. I'm sure Roveco wanted something else.

2. Switching
Now would be admiting to poor judgement.

Jeb is a Bush... Bush is a bad name now so I don't see that happening

15. Nor do I, but the announcement of the daughter's unwed pregnancy
might be the lead in to replacement when the polls come out. She has a special needs infant and a pregnant teenage daughter and really needs to spend more time with her family, no excuse needed.

They really didn't expect this to be a slap in the face to so many women who have worked hard to get where they are. There are a whole lot more hardworking women than there are fundamentalist Dispensationalists.

They really are fools.

I've talked to women on both sides, and they all feel disrespected by this appointment. GOP women especially are angry that so many qualified women in the party were passed over to give the slot to someone they consider a fading beauty queen who has kissed a lot of bible beater ass and who has neither worked for what she's gotten nor developed much of a resume along the way.

3. Think about it though...
Whoever were to replace her would be known for the rest of time as "the runner up" to Miss Wasilla.

Imagine having your career defined as the guy who couldn't beat out Sarah Palin as first choice for VP?

4. I keep tossing this in when I see Jeb mentioned -- that Rachel has been
floating his name for awhile.

Many think, though, the Bush name would be poison.

9. Exactly what I was saying a few days ago. They've always wanted someone
in office that would guarantee they would not have to face prosecution. If Jeb is VP, how long do you give gramps?

10. Could Very Well Happen

The pregnant daughter is a perfect excuse to bow out and "spend more time with the family".....

12. How
The daughter was preggers before she accepted. Bow out now and it is a sign of weakness for them. I don't see it happening.

16. Resistance to Bush and looking bad...
Keep in mind that many Republickers believe what they are told to believe. If they are told that Palin had to drop out to be a good mon, they will believe it and love her for it. If they are told that Jeb will step in to serve the party, they will believe it and love him for it. They LOVE Big Brother, y'know?

19. Rove & the Bush Crime Family pushed hard for Mitt for Pres.
then for VP. That is the only realistic alternative to Gov. "Fundie Fruitcake" Palin.
