With every day bringing new cringe-worthy gaffes, inadequacies, and (R)evelations (Biblical and otherwise), the McCain campaign is getting desperate. They’ve tried just about everything to postpone, or lessen the carnage of the looming bloodbath that will be the Vice Presidential debate this Thursday night.Plan A - Change the rules of the debate. Give the candidates less time to talk, and less time to talk TO each other. If Palin has 25% less time to talk, she will embarrass herself and her party…..25% less. That’s the theory anyway. Plan A has been implemented.Plan B - Economic meltdown. Play it so that John McCain is “the only one” who can solve the crisis, and suspend the campaign so he can. Push for the Presidential debate to be moved forward to take the place of…..wait for it…..the Vice Presidential debate! This allows for the VP debate to be postponed indefinitely! It’s so crazy, it just might work… Except it didn’t. Barack Obama called McCain’s bluff, showed for the debate and forced McCain to participate or risk being upstaged by a nationally televised Obama Town Hall meeting. (McCain campaign lifting collective fist to the sky…”Noooooooo!”)

Plan C - While looking for another way to stall the debate, giving Palin more time to memorize those index cards of talking points, create a diversion for the press. Because right now, the press is not a friend to the McCain campaign. The Couric interview was an epic disaster. Obama won the first Presidential debate, according to most Americans. McCain is looking dangerously physically run-down. Even Alaskans have had it with their governor, and were out in droves Saturday, protesting the stonewalling of her ethics investigation. Op-ed pieces from the left and from the right have been unflattering to say the least. Hmmm….how to divert all this negative press coverage….*lightbulb*

In an election campaign notable for its surprises, Sarah Palin, the Republican vice- presidential candidate, may be about to spring a new one — the wedding of her pregnant teenage daughter to her ice-hockey-playing fiancé before the November 4 election.

Inside John McCain’s campaign the expectation is growing that there will be a popularity boosting pre-election wedding in Alaska between Bristol Palin, 17, and Levi Johnston, 18, her schoolmate and father of her baby. “It would be fantastic,” said a McCain insider. “You would have every TV camera there. The entire country would be watching. It would shut down the race for a week.”

Because, as we all know, that’s the definition of a “fantastic” wedding.

Isn't this some kind of child abuse?

maybe california will slide into the ocean some day....wonder if maybe Alaska could instead?

If Alaska slid into the ocean, you wouldn't have Blue_in_AK to kick around anymore. }(

i think alaska is a awesome place, some of the folks up there are a little out to lunch....but don't feel bad, I live in OHIO, you know where ken blackwell used to run the elections.

I was born there, as a matter of fact, in Wilmington in 1946. We moved to Colorado in 1955, and I never looked back. :)

about the snake's belly in a wagon rut?

One of the loopiest speeches I've ever seen, and if someone has a YouTube link I'd love to see it again, was the last campaign speech by George HW Bush the evening before Clinton was elected.

He knew there was no way he was going to win, and it came out as a final desperate plea to stave off the end of the world.

That's the wedding of the decade?

played in front of cameras and openly pandering for a distraction. Will the Witch Doctor preside over the lovely nuptials? I hope so. Sounds like another geenyous plan by McCrap/Churchy Spice. That's a real MENSA society over there at campaign headquarters, isn't it?

:cry:

Given the story about the redecoration of her office in Wasilla, would they be foolish enough to go all-out and spend a crapton of money on this shotgun wedding? How do you think THAT would go over with the just-folks-like-us voters who (despite ALL EVIDENCE TO THE CONTRARY THAT THIS IS IN ANY WAY A GOOD IDEA) are smitten with her?
