Is a Dump Palin Movement Emerging?
The Washington Monthly’s “Political Animal” blog references a NRO piece by wingnut Kathleen Parker where she suggests that Palin ought to drop out of the race and that she ought to do it for her country (read for the survival of the GOP).
I could definitely see that happening between Saturday and the middle of next week before Friday’s scheduled debate. The carefully prepared interviews with Gibson and Couric were p.r. disasters. I don’t think that anyone believes that she would fare any better under the klieglights of a live debate with Gwen Ifell. Parker suggests that Palin use her family as an excuse (again) to justify dropping out.
That would, of course, would be another razzle-dazzle play by McCain which has come to be expected of the erratic (here and here) candidate. He would have to replace Palin, though, with someone who is like her ideologically but the exact opposite of her communications ability. You heard it here first: by the end of next week McCain will be - Mike Huckabee.
Update: While others at NRO are still guzzling the Kool Aide while admitting watching Palin is cringe-worthy.
