In the last week, I have gone from snickering at John McCain's choice for veep, to wondering whether he actually intends to keep her. What if she demurely says "Under the circumstances, Mr. McCain, I feel I can no longer stand as this party's nominee for vice president."

He gets the points for suggesting a conservative and a woman. She gets press. Then he can go back to a secret Plan A and choose another old white guy, during the convention, and claim it's all to mend things up. He can back away from the baby scandals and the brother-in-law and the polar bears, and pick a less-Right guy more like himself, having "shown" that he supports women in high office.

What was the publication date on the most recent issue? Had Palin been tapped at that point? I gather that the NRA was not a big fan of McCain, considering him the lesser of two evils, but Palin is a lifetime member and gun enthusiast.

As usual in politics, what interests me is who is paying. Not that both sides don't love their lobbyists...

I was reading it a day before Palin's announcement. It's not that the NRA isn't a big fan of McCain -- it's that they actively hate Obama.

they actively hate Obama

Now, what did Obama ever do to them? Or is it the (perceived) "arrogance."

Dipshits.
