I don’t see this happening because he knew about all of this stuff all along and considered it irrelevant

That’s debatable – I would say what is more likely is that Bristol kept it quite until she started to show.

McCain loses if he drops her; he’ll be seen as caving to outside pressure. I don’t see this happening because he knew about all of this stuff all along and considered it irrelevant. The Democrats will see him as weak, and those of us on the right will, too.

And one of the few things that I admire about Johnny Mac is that he makes a decision and sticks by it.

So there is no chance at all that McCain throws her under the bus (by the way….Obama WOULD). The only way I see her dropping off the ticket is if she herself pulls out. But from what I’ve seen of her (and I’ve been following her for about 2 years), that’s the last thing she would do. From reports, Bristol was given the same veto power over her running for VP that Trek was given over her running for the Senate. So, the whole family is behind her. I think the family is the only thing that would pursuade her to drop.

You win. When you get your grand, give me a shout, and I’ll be in Austin and we can hit 6th street.

I wouldn’t want to call it either way.

So that’s why we hate you, Sarah Marshall Palin. We hate you because you remind the other side of their wives, their girlfriends, their daughters, and make them want to fight for you against our sneers and our smears. We hate you because you’re smart and accomplished and didn’t make your bones on the back of Monica Lewinsky. We hate you because you’ve made us forget that our last two candidates for vice president were Joe Lieberman and John Edwards, whoever they were.

We hate you because you’re smart and beautiful and we wish we had women like you on our side.

We hate you.
