McCain Blinks, Will Debate Obama
Candide's Notebooks / September 26
You knew he'd have to cave sooner or later, with even his friendliest pollsters telling him he was tanking and now Kathleen Parker, the latest in a string of conservative columnists, to come out against Sarah Palin. (Choice words from Parker: "If BS were currency, Palin could bail out Wall Street herself." And: "Only Palin can save McCain, her party and the country she loves. She can bow out for personal reasons, perhaps because she wants to spend more time with her newborn. No one would criticize a mother who puts her family first. Do it for your country." Of course, at this point if McCain is interested in doing something for his country, bowing out himself should top the list.
