My problem with that portion of the debate was that I had the sense that McCain was making it up on the fly. He has no "freeze" plan

RCC-
I agree that calling McCain a "maverick" is almost cliche', but damn, he did dis republican policy at least twice during a nationally televised debate! What other type of description would you use for that?

Any one taking seriously the talk of Palin leaving the ticket? Seems like wishful thinking on the red side of the fence right now - but after her last few interviews (make that first few, I guess) she seems to be in so clearly over her head that I have to imagine the discussion is occurring...

She can't drop out. There is no way - apart from an act of God - that McCain could win if she was swapped out. McCain would have to play some masterstroke of a switch where she leaves for "personal reasons" because Bristol goes into early labor or somesuch. But you could never get a handle on the rumors flying that she really dropped out because she is a horrible choice. Plus a miscarriage or something would only fuel the "Trig is Bristol's baby" rumors even more.

Keeping her is an insult, but dropping her off the ticket is suicide. McCain threw a hail mary pass. You can't take it back when it's an interception. (Of course, I reserve ultimate judgment until after the debate. This has been an election full of twists...)

This is quite an election. The repubs think Biden is so bad that they are afraid he will drop out and Hillary will come in to save the day.

Meanwhile, dems are now speculating about Palin dropping out.

If either one dropped out, it would guarantee a win for the other side.

Meanwhile, I still see Palin as the strongest part of the McCain ticket. But it is not that McCain is gonna win. Rather, it is Obama that will lose. And handily. Nothing has happened to shake me from that position I took a couple of weeks before the convention and almost everything that has happened since has wanted me to double up on the bets I made - if only any of those I wagered with would do it. They won't. :wink:

Case in point: "I'll have to get back to you" is a weak response. "That answer is above my paygrade" is an abysmal response.

Whenever I rate the quality of a candidate, it is always in the context of who they are running against. McCain is no Reagan, but then, Obama is no FDR. Palin is no Thatcher, but then, Biden IS a J. P. Patches...


And in the general scheme of things, this is certainly no help for some of the candidates: http://stuckon-stupid.com/2008/09/28/th ... ac-crisis/
