Who thinks the VP debate is actually going to happen? The polls coming out just keep getting worse and worse for McCain. He's got very little to lose at this point, so we're definitely going to see more desperate moves. I'm not sure if that will mean going (even more) stunningly negative or more ridiculous stunts like last week. Palin 'deciding' to spend more time with her family and dropping out before the debate has got to be looking pretty tempting right now. We'll know by Tuesday if that's the plan. (Announce her dropping out Tuesday, announce the replacement Wednesday, debate Thursday. Three days of absolute McCain news coverage guaranteed. It might not be very GOOD coverage, but they're a bit past the point of caring.) Is anyone watching the likely replacements, to see what they're doing? I'll note McCain took an oddly timed dinner with Lieberman last night...

McCain-Lieberman would be *strong*.
I was hoping, way back when, that John Kerry would choose McCain as his VP candidate, back before McCain apparently was taken over by pod people. At the time, McCain refused, saying that it would be unfair to the will of the country if they were elected and Kerry died, to have someone from the other party suddenly running the country. (I paraphrase from dim memory.) Given the number of quotes on this, there would be a lot of ammunition for criticism... but maybe no more than they're already taking.

Lieberman went to the dark side two years ago anyway.

No campaign that trades VP candidates is ever going to be strong.
