66. Americans love a scandal, especially one involving sex, babies and celebrities.
The question I have is whether having this "issue" become a big "internets" discussion would help or hurt our election prospects. You would need someone to spin it in our favor, because it surely can be spun in several directions. Just look at the spin the Repukes are putting on Palin's "qualifications," with the most popular talking point being she has "executive" experience and our guys do not. I was listening to one GOP ass being interviewed today; she was asked the direct question of how Palin was best for the job in light of McCain's age and health issues, and they let her just dance around the question by repeating the "executive experience" bulls**t.

I posted about one of my bigoted, Republican sister's decision not to vote for McCain because of Palin (she would write in Ron Paul) yesterday. Today, I talked to another non-bigoted but still RW Republican sister today and asked her what she thought about Palin - she was already parroting the "more experience than Obama" "executive" BS.
