Palin: The Week That The Music Stopped

I'm not buying into rumors that Sarah Palin is on the way out.

If John McCain can't admit that he misheard an interviewer regarding Spain and its premier there is no way in Hell that he's going to acknowledge that picking the vetting-free Alaska governor as a running mate is turning out to be a disaster of enormous magnitude.

To wit: Palin has cancelled fundraisers in California and Washington state and canceled two rallies in Florida and one in Virginia.

Meanwhile, Palin's favorable/unfavorable ratings have suffered an astounding 21 point drop in just one week, methinks in part because many voters are finally getting an up-close-and-personal look at her, even as she hides in her Cone of Silence, while the drip-drip-drip of revelations from Alaska continues unabated.

Palin is a huge liability: Grossly inexperienced and particularly unsuited for this moment in American history.
