Brighouse's post, as referenced by Sullivan: A bit of horserace commentary

"Pulling The Plug?"

When I read the title I thought it was about Joe Biden.

[The Spirit Of Allegiance]

Well, what *I* heard is that Hillary wants to pull Plugs and step into the VP slot instead of him, but take that with a grain of salt too. Merely rumormongering and gossip, all of it.

"Now this is gossip, albeit of the high class variety; take it with the requisite pinch of salt."
More like a

of salt. Sheesh.

The actual article is at http://crookedtimber.org/2008/10/10/a-bit-of-horserace-commentary/; Mr. Sullivan has only excerpted a small amount from that posting.

Don't you think that kind of gloom-and-doom gossip --- it's not backed by a single shred of evidence --- would be better posted on a site more congenial to such silly gloom-and-doom speculation? I myself fail to see how this adds any value to Free Republic.

Probably the best thing the RINO’s could hope for at this stage is for McCain to step aside and let Palin become the candidate for POTUS. Short of that I think McCain is going to lose and lose big. But by a landslide? Who knows?!

“take it with the requisite pinch of salt.”

Mr. Sullivan: There isn’t enough salt in the ocean for me to take seriously anything you say.
