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...
