I think at this point it is appropriate to start a Thomas Eagleton watch. In other words, how long will it be before elected Republican officials that are facing reelection in November panic? How long before they panic and tell John McCain that he is not going to keep Sarah Palin on the ticket and drag them down with the ship?
Palin is lawyering up in the Troopergate scandal. MSNBC is reporting that Republicans are up in Alaska vetting her anew:
It was an open secret in Wasilla that her daughter was pregnant but almost no one (if anyone) on McCain’s staff knew about it.
Her husband was once arrested for DUI.
Palin was the director of indicted Senator Ted Steven’s 527.
She lied about opposing the bridge to nowhere.
Add all of this to the fact that she has no experience. It can’t be long before panic sets in and Sarah Palin follows the path of Thomas Eagleton. She’s Thomas Eagleton on steroids.
