Well, Now You Know...

... that the suspension of John McCan't's campaign yesterday was a stunt of epic proportions (epic in the sense of panic, of course). Now comes word that even Sarah Palin may be suspending her "campaign." Politico has some analysis.

McCain’s announcement puts Palin in a tricky spot. If Palin continues campaigning, even at a less-than-full schedule, she will be in the mostly unaccustomed position of doing so without McCain by her side and would likely face more criticism if she continued evading the press on the campaign trail. But if she suspends her campaign, Democrats are sure to pounce on the move as more evidence that the suspension is political.

The McCan't campaign is also trying to postpone the first debate to Oct. 2, which is the date of the VP debate, and reschedule the VP debate for another time. Another ploy to keep Palin away from the press and the non-believing public, as well as out of the gaping maw of Joe Biden, who if you hadn't noticed is burning up the trail like a political Tasmanian Devil (and making a couple of silly gaffes along the way).

If you're not convinced that McCan't is watching the wheels fall off the Straight Talk Express; if the plummeting poll numbers aren't confirming for you that, for all intents and purposes, Americans do not like what they're seeing in John McCain; if the recent poll in Alaska, which shows voters there preferring the experience of Joe Biden over that of their own governor in an international crisis, doesn't make your red eyes blue; then you are, of course, asleep. The cure for that, my friends, is to WAKE UP!
