If Gov. Palin is forced to withdraw from consideration, because of a scandal to rock all scandals---or because McCain's corporate backers will not tolerate a loose cannon like her so close to the presidency---then McSame's campaign is toast.

She has picked sides in the energy wars going on in Alaska. That shows more balls than brains. Exxon is suing the state over decisions that one of her appointees, a former lobbyist for TransCanada, made with her approval.

Let McCain invest a lot of time and effort into Gov. Palin. She is not going to win Sen. Clinton's voters. And if she decides to withdraw from consideration "Because her family and her state need her" everyone will know the truth.

The most important thing is 1) call her the gender neutral, respectful Gov. Palin 2) focus on official corruption and policy issues, esp. abuse of power 3) paint her as ultra-conservative 4) use concrete, descriptive language when characterizing her lack of experience 4) let the MSM do as much of the work as possible. They seem eager to do it, which leads me to believe that Big Business is not happy with McCain's choice.
