[Halifax]

as per Intrade ... Ridge is now the favourite, Palin fading fast

edit: Bouncing back and forth between Palin and Ridge, Lieberman as third favourite

a chartered jet from Alasksa just landed in Ohio...hmmmmm

palin would be weak for the ticket . only useful in the sense of female voters to have a woman running for president instead of second in charge. ridge i dont know anything about, except cunningham was saying he wouldn't vote for mccain if he picked him because he's pro choice

Her spokesperson says she's still in Alaska

But one person who will not be there: Palin. The Governor's spokesperson, Sharon Leighow, tells ABC News she's going to the State Fair in Anchorage, Alaska.

McCain team kept a better secret than the Obama team. This is unreal. I can't believe he would take a pro-choicer if that's true.

I'm hoping it's Kay Bailey myself. I think that is the winning ticket

Her spokesperson says she's still in Alaska

spokespeople are also the most notorious liars/spinners on the planet.

 

[BetIt]

fair enough, valid point

Associated Press is reporting that a private jet delivered a woman and two teenagers to Dayton from Alaska late last night. (Marc Ambinder of The Atlantic has linked the Gulfstream V to a McCain donor.)

Money back on Palin. If it's Palin this is total desparation. I wouldn't be surprised if he changed his mind late last night. But how can McCain possibly say Obama is not ready but Palin, who is younger and more inexperienced, is ready.

McCain is simply too old to pick someone that young and inexperienced. Let's face it, his age is a factor and no one will be shocked if he dies of natural causes, then *she* is the President? risky pick right there

CNBC is saying it's Palin

Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, a self-styled "hockey mom" who has only been governor for a little over a year, is GOP Presidential candidate John McCain's choice for Vice President, CNBC has learned.

According to a Republican strategist, Palin is the nominee, though McCain's campaign has not comfirmed this.

I guess this would signal a change of strategy from the McCain campaign away from the too risky/not ready tack to......?

Tocco is going to be his VPope:

Think back to VP choices. This has to be the least known, least vetted, least experienced, most unknown pick since....at least Dan Quayle and probably even further back.

 

[barman]

Sarah HEATH Palin.....At least she likely has some sharp genetics.....

I bet she'll be ready to correctly spell POTATO
