Today Bill Kristol and Frank Barnes are both out with new articles where they actually acknowledge McCain's dire straits.

Kristol also finds the most ridiculous reasoning for starting the Wright conversation again (seriously, you won't believe this one).

And, further bad news for the GOP - McCain is going to have to play some defense in North Carolina and Indiana. And a local Kentucky poll shows the race tightening there as well (not that McCain probably has to worry much about this state) but voter support for Palin seems to be dropping. In Kentucky of all places!!

LMAO!!!

This is something.

David Frum, a former Bush speechwriter, is among conservatives who have worried that the Palin pick weakens one of McCain's best arguments: that he has superior experience and is better prepared to protect America.

"How serious can [McCain] be," Frum wrote even before Palin appeared at the GOP convention, "if he would place such a neophyte second in line to the presidency?"

Charles Krauthammer and Ross Douthat, two other conservative stalwarts, have also doubted Palin's readiness to lead.

Conservative George F. Will issued McCain a harsh dressing-down.

"Under the pressure of the financial crisis, one presidential candidate is behaving like a flustered rookie playing in a league too high," Will began his syndicated column, which is carried in more than 450 newspapers. "It is not Barack Obama."

He ended his broadside by all but declaring McCain unfit for the Oval Office.

ok, for those of you still uninformed enough to actually post on here that this did not pass because the republicans’ feeling were hurt….One last time, do your research somewhere other than dailykos! Pelosi had NO intentions of this ever passing! She will now go on vacation leaving the country to twist in the wind AGAIN! Meanwhile, she will keep stoking the fire of partisanship as to get Obama in office and keep blaming Bush for her failures as a “leader”(I can barely even type “leader” that with out throwing up in my outh a bit). What a disgusting excuse for a human being! And its even worse that there are so many of you that are so misinformed to believe and SUPPORT her! The republicans have been trying to fix this for as long as I can remember and the dem black caucus have blocked,by using racial divisivness, to keep the corruption going. To still be defending this walking abortion of a human being is to simply be a willing participant in the dumbing down of our country!

Once again I ask, WHATS IT GONNA TAKE BEFORE WE TAKE OUR COUNTRY BACK FROM THESE CROOKS?!

FLUSH DC….RE-ELECT NO ONE!!!!!!!!!!

Well there seems to be a pool going in the predictions market in Las Vegas that Palin will drop off the ticket before the election. Here are a few items that are already fueling the speculation: Troopergate... Preparedness Questioned... Defense Role Negated... Almost Recalled... No Iraq Focus... Ted Steven's Scandal... Secessionist Party... Earmarks Beneficiary... Pregnant Daughter... Abramoff Connection... Corruption Investigation... Church And State...

The Intrade prediction market has opened trading on whether "Sarah Palin [is] to be withdrawn as Republican VP nominee before 2008 presidential election." At 8:55 am, Tuesday morning, the market is selling the prediction at 18 a share and rising. That means 18 percent of traders think Palin will be removed.

Some think that McCain picked her so he can blame a lost election to her; others are comparing this to the Harriet Miers fiasco.

Hey Ben . .. why are the Dems so preoccupied/obsessed with Sarah Palin. No matter what the issue, it starts and ends with bashing Gov. Palin. I’ll answer that for you….it’s because her popularity and appeal with independents and women voters represents a threat the the campaign of the annointed one. The fear is palpable and a very real concern, you know that to be true. But I must say the “she’s too inexperienced” comment from the Dems is very entertaining, if not hypocritical. That’s why we put her at the bottom of the ticket you freakin’ idiots. Come on Ben, stay on topic, Sarah Palin has nothing to do with this discussion. You kind of have a stalker thing going and it creeps me out.
