Of course the only bounce they might get is the one provided by Palin look-a-like strippers at all the strip clubs they will frequent:

Dems should have a strong convention for people to keep in mind.

And I think the US Flag Code at least implies that oil-soaked stripper butts should not be sitting on one.
