Palin is McCain's strength

She is the only reason evangelicals are fired up, and she is the only reason he is leading in many polls.

If we destroy Palin, we destroy McCain. I don't think he will remove her from the ticket, that would be a disaster, but she will continue to be a source of bad news as the bloom comes off. Troopergate, rapekit-gate, book banning-gate, and her total lack of knowledge are only starting to permeate through the post-convention glow.

I just refuse to believe that someone can pick such an unqualified, corrupt hack as their VP and benefit from it. I don't. Palin will either be a nonfactor or a negative by election day, and that is bad news for McCain.
