But you know that when the tradmed are running stories like this, we're past the toast stage and into breadcrumbs and croutons.
It's hard not to get the impression that - who knows why? - she's no longer being taken entirely seriously as a VP pick.
And this during convention week.
On the subject of which - is there any actual news from the convention? (Apart from the usual stories about DFHs being arrested and beaten up.)
Like I said above, if we can get her kicked off the ticket before tomorrow (thus sparking a revolt on the floor), we could destroy the Republican Party, not just for this cycle, but for two or three.
That's it's happening during the convention, robbing the GOP of free media time to rip Obama, makes it all the more brilliant. Conservatives want live babies so they can raise them to be dead soldiers. - George Carlin
Stuck with her they are ...
totally hosed if remove her they do.
Yes, that is EXACTLY what Yoda would say. In the end, might makes right. Nothing has changed since the caveman.
This was supposed to be the theme and schedule (from the Official Site):
Tuesday, Sept. 2 Reform "If you find faults with our country, make it a better one. If you are disappointed with the mistakes of government, join its ranks and correct them." --Sen. John McCain
John McCain's life is a testament to the fundamental truth that every American can be a force for change. A restless reformer who has dedicated his career to taking on special interests and the status quo, John McCain will deliver the right kind of change and reform to meet the great challenges of our time. On Tuesday, the convention program will underscore his vision of a government that is transparent, principled and worthy of the American people it serves. Speakers will include:
Former New York City Mayor Rudolph W. Giuliani Former Gov. Mike Huckabee (Ark.) Former Gov. Tom Ridge (Pa.) Gov. Sarah Palin (Alaska) Gov. Jon Huntsman (Utah) Rosario Marin, California Secretary of the State and Consumer Services Agency and former Treasurer of the United States Former U.S. Sen. Fred Thompson (Tenn.) Gov. Linda Lingle (Hawaii) Former Lt. Gov. Michael Steele (Md.)
But they've scragged Guiliani and they're dragging President Bush out from his rock to say nice things about McCain. Since the GOP isn't completely stupid he'll do it from the White House -- far, far away from Palin. So he doesn't give her a back rub, one suspects.
And here is the New™ Improved© Theme and Schedule:
Service
"Love of country, my friends, is another way of saying love of your fellow countrymen." --Sen. John McCain
John McCain's commitment to his fellow Americans, a commitment forged in service to his country, is one of the defining hallmarks of his life. Tuesday's events will highlight John McCain's record of service and sacrifice and reflect his commitment to serving a cause greater than one's own self-interest. Speakers will include:
President George W. Bush (via satellite) First Lady Laura Bush U.S. Sen. Joe Lieberman (Conn.) Former U.S. Sen. Fred Thompson (Tenn.) U.S. House Republican Leader John Boehner (Ohio) U.S. Sen. Norm Coleman (Minn.) U.S. Rep. Michele Bachmann (Minn.) Robert M. "Mike" Duncan, Chairman of the Republican National Committee Jo Ann Davidson, Co-Chairman of the Republican National Committee and Chairman of the 2008 Republican National Convention Committee on Arrangements
And you know how exciting those two are to listen to. Conservatives want live babies so they can raise them to be dead soldiers. - George Carlin
This is getting to be mega "Gidget and the Geezer."
see you later
He won't be needed after we pick-up some Senate Seats and he can kiss his committee assignments good-bye.
Moving his desk when the janitor needs some hot water might be a bit of a pain ... Joe can handle it.

On Tuesday, the convention program will underscore his vision of a government that is transparent, principled and worthy of the American people it serves.
And in the afternoon - irony classes from the Onion's Business Consultancy Division.
