WAS this Rove's plan all along?
Rove knew, he had to -- he's too good not to. The Enquirer would kill to have him on staff. He may not have shared it with McCain, but at least he knew.

OK, so let's assume that Rove knew. Was this his way of forcing McCain to choose Mittens? What will McCain do now?

Yes, the Fundies could spin this as a good thing publicly but I doubt they'll be flocking to the polls now.

Something smells. . .

1. Something has been off since the beginning that she was chosen.
I'm tempted to rehash my old belief that the Repubs are trying to elminate McCain to bring in someone new to replace him as the head candidate.

Beyond that, I don't know what the plan is, but I'm suspicious something is definitely up.

4. McCain's choice of VP is indefensible at this point.
Who would want to drag a pregnant teen through a Presidential campaign? This woman was not fucking vetted. Any man with character would say to Palin, "Sorry. It looks like you have your hands full. Next!" But no, McCain needed a vagina. Now he has more vagina than he can deal with, apparently. How sad for that 17 year old girl. :(

7. Yes. That's it exactly...
Karl Rove WANTED to Republican ticket to be talking about how the laughably unqualified VP nominee's "abstinence only educated" daughter got knocked up.
