It’s already poppin’ up in some of my daily reading…so before you go off half cocked on it, you may want to read this.  Some interesting perspective on the situation.

Since she was chosen, I’ve felt from the beginning for some reason that she might not make it to the election itself.  Had no reason for the feeling, just that she seemed like such a surprise choice to many, there was bound to be dirt that would show up.  And between the ethics isseus regarding the firing of her brother in law, the "Bridge to Nowhere", and her generally way-right views, it does seem like there’s a lot of uncertainty in the air about how the choice will affect the McCain candidacy.

We’ll see.  For now, I think the rumor mill’s getting stupid on this one without a lot more sorting of facts…
