Yesterday we noted that the traditional media could hardly help but notice the obvious pattern of the Republican faithful hanging around McCain/Palin events just long enough to hear the Barracuda speak, then shuffling out on the other guy.

And then there was the moment when the Barracuda accidentally told us all what was on her mind: a Palin/McCain administration:

Today comes word of... a rash of cancellations of Palin events. Has the Barracuda been gaffed? Or is it more gaffes they fear? Or maybe they've just realized they can't fill a venue without the Wasilla Cannonball on the card?

Either way, suddenly Sarah's ducking more events than Todd's ducking subpoenas. In swing and non-swing states alike. What's going on?

Two cancellations in Florida.

Two in California.

Two in Washington state.

At least one in Colorado.

And one in Wyoming.

Poor John McCain. It's just never gonna be his time. First he had his throat cut by George W. Bush in South Carolina in 2000, and now he's being knifed in the back by his own running mate in 2008.
