It will fizzle out. Nothing could revive it...

Well, unless Raygun's corpse is exhumed and propped up next to McSame. That might stop the GOP from imploding at this point.

episode of Seinfeld.

"Death Blow: When someone tries to blow you up, not because of who you are, but for different reasons altogether!"

2. See also McGovern - Eagleton.
Although the McGovern campaign was doomed from the get go.

3. Fortunately, the inverse is also true.
If Palin is not dropped, it will be a death blow to the McNutso caompaign.

5. Yes, but the drip drip drip of new scandal...

and our insatiable press (the Jon Benet press) will kill any other message (including any anti Obama message) so McCain is forced to roll the dice again and hope nobody remembers this mess in 8 weeks.

7. She won't be dropped
The Religious Conservative wing of the Republican Party will revolt in anger. It will destroy the party.

8. Not necessarily. If the extramarital affair is confirmed or 98% confirmed, it's over.
Religious fundamentalists go nuts over sex for fun, esp. outside the marriage. They can forgive just about anything else out there.
