***GOP Rumor: McCain will Replace Palin Soon *** [View All]

This is some political gossip and scuttlebutt that I would normally dismiss except the people that relayed it to me are good friends even though we don't see eye to eye politically and they are well connected in the Texas Republican Party. It seems to be the rumor going around with some well connected Republics here in town that McCain will very soon replace Palin. They are saying that Palin is becoming a "dragging anchor" for McCain and they cannot take any more chances. These are mega-money people in Texas that are involved with apparently a new search (or maybe the new replacement using the past search list) for a VP for McCain.

McCain is apparently getting big time pressure to replace Palin and it's possible there will be an announcement next week on a Palin replacement. No one here is saying much more than McCain will likely replace Palin. Speculation centers around Romney as the replacement as Romney would be taken much more seriously than Palin is now.

They also fear that the troopergate scandal is taking on a life of it's own and that they will lose control of it soon.

I'll pass on more as it becomes available.
