Ed Schultz is reporting the following:
Capitol Hill sources are telling me that senior McCain people are more than concerned about Palin. The campaign has held a mock debate and a mock press conference; both are being described as “disastrous.” One senior McCain aide was quoted as saying, “What are we going to do?” The McCain people want to move this first debate to some later, undetermined date, possibly never. People on the inside are saying the Alaska Governor is “clueless.”
Hmm. This sort of thing screams out ‘SCAM!’ In fact, there was a West Wing episode in which Leo, after being chosen as Matt Santos’ running mate, deliberately fumbled the debate prep, then leaked the embarrassing video to the press. And then, when Leo finally appeared in the VP debate and wasn’t terrible, everyone was amazed and impressed.
Now, from all indications, Palin is a big nothing and a terrible speaker without her prompter. But watch out. This just smells like a set-up.
