McCain-Palin becoming Palin-McCain? Theft in The Works???
Edited on Sun Sep-07-08 07:43 PM by rsmith6621
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. —

The banners, buttons and signs say McCain-Palin, but the crowds say something else.

"Sa-rah! Pa-lin!" came the chant at a Colorado Springs rally on Saturday moments before Republican nominee John McCain took the stage with Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, a woman who was virtually unknown to the nation just a week earlier. The day before, thousands screamed "Sa-rah! Sa-rah! Sa-rah!" at an amphitheater outside Detroit.

"Real change with a real woman," read one sign at a Wisconsin rally. "Hurricane Sarah leaves liberals spinning," cried another.

In the short time since McCain spirited the 44-year-old first-term governor out of Alaska and onto a national stage as his running mate, Palin has become an instant celebrity. And since her speech at the Republican National Convention, watched by more than 40 million Americans, she is emerging as the main attraction for many voters at their campaign appearances.

So could the plan be to get up to October 1st and if McSame isn't polling well they conveniently say McSame has a form of disabling cancer and put Sarah McFalin on top of the ticket and someone like Lieberman or Romney as Veep.....wouldn't put it past these rat bastards which in effect could be a setup for another theft in the midst of the confusion something like this would create

1. It would be ironic if McCain and Pailin end up hating each other.

3. Wouldn't surprise me in the least.
Nope, not one bit.

4. No way
Obama would crush her then. I think part of the deal with this is obviously the core right people are voting for McCain. Palin is just sort of this bonus. I really don't think many see her getting to be President primarily because we haven't had a President in office croak in a long time. She's intriguing, but a long-shot.

5. Can they do that, according to party rules?
The top of the ticket is the candidate who gains
a certain number of primary votes.

There's no way Palin passes that test.

The only way she can legitimately assume the Oval Office,
is after McCain is elected, and then he meets with an untimely end.

Perish the thought!

Maybe the Rapture will come first! (grim grin)

6. Well there must be something in the rules about it
After all, he could conceivably die of natural causes before we even get to vote.

7. That would be awesome
An even lousier candidate than Johnny McSame.

However, I doubt it. The GOB party ain't about to let a female take top billing.
