If McCain has alzheimers, Palin would be able to bring him down any time she wanted to.

[dkf]

McCain is the trojan horse folks.

Therefore Palin could be the issue after all.

1. But Palin would not be alone. Todd is in the shadows. nt

[tomg]

3. Not Exactly. Dobson, Perkins, and

the organized far-right religious right are in the shadows. The American Taliban.

[blm]

7. Palin is a parrot of GOPAC talking points and theocrats - RevMoon controls Alaska's fishing industry

and likely has been behind Palin's rise as he exerts enormous influence on BushInc and the GOP and has for decades now.

[tomg]

13. That is pretty intense. I've known about the

Moon - Bush connection for a long time, but I didn't know about Moon's connection to he Alaskan fishing industry. Thanks. Curiousier and Curiousier, as Alice would say.

[blm]

14. Shouldn't be a surprise about Alaska, since Moon has controlled more than HALF this nation's

fishing industry for well over a decade by now. Couldn't have happened without his 50+ years alliance with the Bush family.

9. If McCain Steps down she becomes President and Names her VP, Jeb Bush

Who do you suppose Palin will pick as VP, you know the powerless position that Dick Cheney has used as a Unitary Executive with Legislative and Executive powers and protection.

My money is on Jeb Bush, there ya go an Internet Guy said Jeb Bush and no there is nothing stopping her, if we lose this election and McCain steps down you will see a continuance of a 40 year regime, so now, why do we fight so hard to get Obama elected.

They are already loading her up with Bushs people

2. Shh.... we're not supposed to focus on Palin b/c the Republicans talking heads

and the Clintons are saying that Obama should ONLY be focusing on the issues.

[dkf]

4. Well I'm talking about the scariest thing that I see possibly in my lifetime.

[Skwmom]

5. Just b/c there is a STRONG likelihood that she will have to take over

for McCain is no reason to worry. Didn't you get the memo from the genius Washington consultants, we are only to focus on McCain (but not his explosive temper issue, that wouldn't be viewed as playing well with others).

[dkf]

6. Sigh. And we wonder how we could have lost 2000 and 2004

[cliffordu]

8. And that IS the most terrifying thing we face. The American Taliban.

Religious extremism morphed into a death cult with nukes.

[jobycom]

12. Focus on her if you want, but Obama will lose if he does.

Obama is running against McCain, just as Dukakis ran against George Bush. Dan Quayle was the least qualified person we've ever had close to the White House, and Dukakis repeatedly tried to make him the issue, and in the end, it did nothing except allow Bush to attack Dukakis while Dukakis was distracted.

I don't care what we think of McCain's long-term health or mental stability, the media is going to pretend he's a viable candidate, and that's the only message the voters are going to get, and if Obama wastes his time campaigning against Palin, McCain is going to have a free ride.

10. Palin should choose a different running mate while there is still time.

McCain is proving to be a drag on the ticket. (His talking to seven women in a diner the other day while Palin blessed the gathered multitudes should give you an idea of the scale of the problem.) The question is, who will she choose? Probably someone similar to herself, but who? Well, I just don't know. Tsk. Who, who, who?

[Boz]

11. Jeb Bush, but she ll wait until the election is over
