Caller in to Thom Hartmann, Marilyn, states that the reason

[TheDebbieDee]

for the Palin nomination is to have another "Eagleton" (nominee drops out) after the convention so that McCain can have Lieberman without a fight at the convention.

Makes sense to me............

[Kerrytravelers]

1. It does to me, too. And I think that will split the Conservative base.

Edited to add: Teehee.

[Blaze Diem]

6. Ditto. Only a Rovian hack job will get Mcsame elected now.

Only a KKK nazi-breathing Rovian hack job.

Be certain its already in the making.

[calmstorm]

11. Nazi?

What type of person does an armed attack against delegates going to a party convention? Note the same did not happend to the democratic convention.

Actions speak. An armed attack against ones constitutional rights is treason. They might as well publicly declare war, and let's get this over before election time.

[stillcool]

13. what are you talking about?

blocking a bus? You are correct..an armed attack, especially a "preemptive" one against the citizenry is treason. Perhaps you will get your wish, and our country will be destroyed so we can have a government like Saudi Arabia.

[The Blue Flower]

2. Yes, unless...

Could be true, but if the R's decide to line up with the party's talking points, then McCain doesn't get Lieberman.

[undeterred]

3. But the damage is already done...

the country knows that McCain's judgment SUCKS, and he that he had to be rescued from himself.

4. It's Harriet Miers remix but w Palin the campaign is raking in the dough from fundies.

[Windy]

5. Lieberman or a Mittens who then becomes acceptable to the right wing

because the mean old democrats picked on their fundy girl!

[Marr]

7. People give the Republicans way too much credit.

Seems like every time they fuck up (which is very common), people say it's all part of an elaborate plan of some kind.

Trust me, the GOP would not make their party look so stupid on purpose. They'd prefer to hide the stupid, but it pokes out sometimes.

8. Whenever she drops out it's going to look like rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic.

The later it happens, the more uproar it's going to cause and the better for us.

[melody]

9. No way -- this whole matter has hurt the GOP badly

Far more than any Lieberman VP would help.

[libnnc]

10. Doesn't matter. They're done either way.

An incredibly stupid strategy if true.

I've never seen a political party self-destruct before my eyes like this.

[daleo]

12. Eagleton didn't work out so well for McGovern

This would be a stupid tactic, if true.
