Wow, the sh*t is just piling up on the John McCain campaign today. First, he did the about face and will debate Barack Obama tonight (which shouldn't be surprising to anyone, especially since the bailout negotiations disintegrated just when McCain stepped into the fray). Now a bunch of big name conservative commentators, including George Will,
David Brooks,
David Frum, and
Kathleen Parker are all
calling for Sarah Palin to remove herself from the McCain ticket because of her exceedingly obvious inadequacies (Exhibit A is

tim_wright ). I understand that many Americans do not pay as much attention to this stuff as I (and most of my flist) do, but come on, at least some of this has to be filtering through.
I'm really looking forward to tonight's debate. Even though
McCain is declaring victory in the debate before it even happened.
