Palin Should Bow Out

Kathleen Parker:

No one hates saying that more than I do. Like so many women, I’ve been pulling for Palin, wishing her the best, hoping she will perform brilliantly. I’ve also noticed that I watch her interviews with the held breath of an anxious parent, my finger poised over the mute button in case it gets too painful. Unfortunately, it often does. My cringe reflex is exhausted.

Bow out or not makes no different. Both McCain and Palin will bow down and out on November 4th.

Palin is Cluesless in Debate Prep

From Big Eddie:

Capitol Hill sources are telling me that senior McCain people
are more than concerned about Palin. The campaign has held
a mock debate and a mock press conference; both are being described as “disastrous.” One senior McCain aide was quoted as saying, “What are we going to do?” The McCain people want to move this first debate to some later, undetermined date, possibly never. People on the inside are saying the Alaska Governor is “clueless.”

The McCain campaign is fucked and they know it.

The Real McCoy

Good point, HmL and I like your formal boss’s comment: “McCain is the classic opportunist. He’s always reaching for attention and glory.” Being an opportunist he is, who knows if McCain is going to throw Palin off the bus once she is no good anymore, which is pretty soon, and bring someone else on board. He has been doing the unthinkable day by day.

Passing-Gas Battery

AP:

A West Virginia man who police said passed gas and fanned it toward a patrolman has been charged with battery on a police officer.

Oh man, that is so funny (Thanks Pho Lover).

McCain’s Stunt

Josh Marshall:

He can’t debate Barack Obama because he’s got to go to Washington and save the economy? It’s like the biggest ‘dog at my homework’ in history.

McCain is trying to postpone Palin’s debate by delaying his debate to take over her spot. He knows damn well Palin is an idiot. The CBS interview is a proof.

McCain Wants to Postpone Debate

McCain seeks to delay Friday’s debate using the economic crisis as an excuse. Obama doesn’t back down and the University of Mississippi wants to go forward. If McCain wants to “solve” the economic crisis, let him do it. Meanwhile, let Palin substitutes him.
