If Palin steps down...

[CoffeeCat]

...you can damn well bet that--this time--John McCain is going to go with who HE wants
as his running mate.

Folks, that will be either Lieberman or Ridge.

The MSM has consistently reported, during the past two days, that McCain's
first and second choices were Lieberman and Ridge, respectively. McCain
was told that if he picked Lieberman, that there would be an open fight
on the convention floor.

From a position of anger, weakness and frustration--McCain selected Sarah Palin.

Can you imagine how infuriated John McCain is right now? His own party
threatened to destroy him if he picked Lieberman, so he allowed them to
have THEIR way, and now he is suffering the consequences of not doing
what he wanted.

If Palin ends up stepping down, you can make damn sure that McCain will
do whatever the hell he pleases as far as his running mate choices.

McCain will pick Lieberman or Ridge, then the Fundie base of the party will implode
and it's hello to an Obama/Biden 2008 victory.
