Who thinks Palin will withdraw from the debate?

I think she will withdraw, and she should. If she goes on McCain is through. Yes, they will take a hit if she backs out, but it will be worse if she tries to fake it in a debate with Joe Biden. She couldn't even handle Katie Couric. They should fake an illness with the baby

I'm also going to predict a 3 to 4 point bump for Obama next week. All he had to do was hold is own in the Foreign policy debate tonight and it sounds like he did.

I doubt the election committee will cancel the debate just because Palin chickens out. It'll look worse than if she went there and lost badly.

that's why I think they will feign an illness with the baby...so they can spin a dedicated mother thing, which will REALLY backfire! Can't be a VP and take the day of with a sick baby.

Don't get me wrong...I'd love to see her make an ass of herself

You honestly think Olbermann or Maddow won't make sure it's not a fake illness?

Someone'll sniff that shit out and make sure a handle of journalists do their jobs.

Honestly she's so bad I don't think the campaign will care what the press says...as long as the world doesn't get to see how completely incompetent she is. She makes Quayle look like a genius

My instinct says she's out...we'll see what happens.

We will see. But my guess is she's too stupid to know just how outmatched she is.

Several articles are starting to creep out about her dropping out period and KO has odds on October first.

This is where I'd agree. IF Palin drops out [or gets the boot] McCain will force the issue of picking Leiberman by saying something very simple yet unmistaken: "Think I can't make a worse choice?"
