This is just a Karl Rove head fake to take away attention from the Democratic Convention, the most incredible convention with the best acceptance speech in the history of the USA.
Instead, Sarah will, tearfully, decide to stay at home with her kids and try to hang on to her seat as governor of Alaska in the face of continuing investigations.
McCain will ask Romney to accept and it will look oh so good.
I have been thinking about this for the last 24 hours, and it just can't be true. It is such a stupid pick for all the reasons listed.
On the other hand if it is a head fake it is a very slick move with very little downside.
