Poll question: How long will it be before MOST Repukes start blaming McCain for choosing such a loser as Palin?
It's only a matter of time before almost everyone on the repuke side starts whining how McCain should've gone with someone else, someone more established like Romney, Ridge, or Gullianie, or ANYONE but Palin.

I can't wait for the mutiny to begin :evilgrin:

2. The Sarah Palin nomination should give a whole new meaning to "Swing Voters". NT

5. I voted "after the election"
Though there should be an option to add "IF the Repukes don't steal it again". Pubbies are very good at denial and will continue to tell themselves that Palin's tanking poll numbers are all a conspiracy by the librul media.

6. I don't think they'll blame Palin
The wing nuts of the GOP never really liked McCain but they seem to love Palin.
As McCain slips in the polls they'll blame it on his gaffes and flip-flops. Palin and her talk radio fan base will never fault her and they'll say that was the only thing McCain did right.

In fact I'm beginning to wonder if they won't find a way to drop him from the ticket.

8. Not until the state polls become more decisively trending obama: consider this...

Which may not happen.

The mutiny is already starting, with subtle jabs at Palin and folks prepping the arguments.

Mccain's pick of Palin, imo, was a knee-jerk reaction to being told "no" regarding Lieberman. I think his staff had focused on other choices ahead of her, but Mccain went with his gutt reaction and focused on the general impression he had of her as a maverick, sexy woman.

In other words, i think Mccain went against EVERYBODY around him when he picked her.

And i think he sincerely believed she was anti-washington and would shake up THE PARTY. He believed in her.

His campaign has tried desperately to work it out and things are falling apart...
