Palin-McCain

In the end, I think her husband will bring her down. Check him out at about 1:02 in this video, "you call it pressure, i call it...."

She's too likable, the dems won't go after her for fear of being too hard on women but I think its open season on him.

Sarah Palin - my prediction

This seems on target to me but I'l add that her husband (or relative) may endup making the fatal statement.

the senator from indiana? yeah right!

the gym bag incident.

what seems important to me is that the "senator from indiana" is leaving his home in DC where bayh, his wife and their two boys live. this sounds to me like he should be the "senator from DC". shouldn't a senator live in the state he represents? send his kids to school in that state? the senate is on recess for god's sake, shouldn't he at least go back to indiana when there's nothing going on in DC? Not the Bayh's, i guess they're too busy getting rich. just another well-connected, american royal family feeding its need for power and money.
