Let’s get real here. McCain has run a bad campaign. Palin is about the only thing keeping him close. This is about stopping Obama, not electing McCain and that is not a winning situation.

Don’t take the bait... don’t despair. The real rift is between the Obama staffers and Biden staffers. After seeing the thin-skinned actions of the Obama staffers you can be sure that they’ve clamped down on Biden staffers after Joe’s “rhetorical flourishes” and deer-in-the-headlights performance in the Barbara West interview. Believe me - Obama is going to try to keep Biden hidden in the background unless he is heavily scripted with a teleprompter. All this nonsense about a McCain/Palin rift is just a cover for the Obama/Biden tension.

McCain got sucker punch by Bush and his idiot staffers that fell for the scam cooked up by Paulson and and his Dem staffers.
The fall of Lehmans was an insider dispute with JP Morgan and they knew it .Paulson had worked at Morgan so he knew the real story.
But Bush fell for the sky is falling story and allowed them to scream PANIC to the press which was desperate to help Obama!
We will find out later how the DNC , Soros , and Paulson plotted this cooked up crisis.
