Palin will be gone by Friday
Her selection as VP will become known as the most insane/disastrous political decision made by a presidential candidate in American history. IMHO

1. I agree. If not by friday, soon.
And she'll cite protecting 'the privacy of her family' as the reason.

Bush the Preppy never dumped Dan Quayle. It would have been admitting a mistake.

4. He doesn't have to dump her. She'll withdraw.
"for family reasons". That's already well set up for her.

12. Compared to Palin, Dan Quayle was overqualified to be VP
And Quayle didn't sink his campaign.

25. Surveys showed Quayle was a drag on the ticket

Bush would have won in a landslide if he had picked someone qualified.

31. . .. and Bus lost at least once and possibly both times.
They did such a royal job of fucking up the integrity of 2004 that we can never be sure what happened or who won. And that's just Ohio.

5. No way. Republicans NEVER make mistakes
They think changing their minds makes them look weak. Palin will be held up as the Paragon of Motherhood: she who raises five children and makes good decisions (her kid keeping the baby) while under the enormous pressure of doing the People's work.

6. they scrapped the bottom of the barrel in picking palin
I think the barrel is empty, best they can do now is to flip the barrel over and scrap the underside

16. That's an interesting thought.
They rally the fundies, then dump her (withdraws to attend to her family), then stick in some more sensible candidate. Could be.

17. I think anything named Bush would be disastrous for them.
Hell, even the Reagan Democrats are able to acknowledge a disaster when it's happening to them.

24. But he's the smart, successful brother, he could be the redemptive one.
(Of course, he's none of those things, except maybe smarter than Junior.) I can't believe the Bush Mafia is just going to walk away from this when everything is going so well for them.

27. Hopefully, they'll be spending their time/money hiring lawyers to keep them out of jail.
If the Dems miraculously grow spines.

15. The hilarious thing is...
(and I brought this up in another topic, so forgive me for repeating myself) that whoever it is (if it happens) will be playing second choice for the most grossly underqualified person EVER to run as Vice President of the United States. Who would want to be known as the runner up to Miss Wasilla?

When have you ever seen a pug quit something? Hell, they continue to serve in the Senate even while under indictment.

23. Agree totally. She'll bow out--roll the bus over her kid again.
She'll claim that she needs to be near Bristol during this time and provide greater attention to Trig. Cindy McCain must be drinkin or druggin herself to excess today. This whole campaign is imploding. Thank you Sarah Palin!

33. "Obama is just saving it for the right moment"? Sounds to me like Obama doesn't have to do anything.
She's perfectly capable of destroying herself with no help from anyone.
