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.
