I'm expecting them to get a poll bounce after tomorrow
I want to be very wrong but:

It's 9/11 and Palin's interview is airing. Gonna be lots of softball, pre-screened questions. The usual dose of Terra, Terra, Terra. Much flag waving and closeups of Palin's cheeks liberally sprinkled with patriotic tears of joy/grief as her son marches off into the sunset.

The whole fucking thing is a setup. Her first, and so far only, interview on 9/11 - the day of her son's, so conveniently timed, quasi deployment.

Yeah, unless she really goofs, it's gonna be a bounce. I do hope she goofs.

1. It's doubtful that there was a legitimate "bounce" after that convention.
So, why would you expect one now?

2. You can bet they'll exploit it to the max.
What are Obama and Biden doing tomorrow?

6. There will be no goofs.
Just that goofy Alaskan charm that endears her to so many.

Just like Chimpy's misspeaks, they eat that shit up.

This thing will be edited and re-edited for perfection.

No bombshell will be allowed.

7. As a mother, all I could say is that Palin must have a heart of stone,
I dropped my daughter off at college a couple of weeks ago, and was a mess for a couple of days. I couldn't imagine how upset I would be if she was heading off to Iraq.

Most mothers would see Palin as a opportunist/creepy politician who uses the plights of her children for political gain.

...downsydrom baby
...pregnant teenage daughter
...son heading off to Iraq

Politically speaking she hit pay dirt.

8. My wife certainle agrees with you.
How could she drag her daughter through this knowing the scrutiny she was going to be put under?

AND - if any of this Enquirer crap about her kids is true, then she knew about that as well and is going to be dragging them through the mud even more.

If it's true, she's a piece of shit.

9. With 9/11 and 2 Days of the MSM Pulling Out All the Stops to Sell Her To Us
Yeah, they'll get another bounce. Propaganda works.

Don't expect the Gibson "interview" to be the only one, either.
The Tee Vee people will be lining up to whore for her.

It's could get ugly soon.

10. Anyone want to place bets on if McCain will come out in a full military get up?
...maybe staple a couple of purple hearts on his chest?
