Predictions

Bojack's crystal ball is showing the following tonight:

Sarah Palin will release a scanty summary of her medical background tomorrow -- on Friday, just in time to get lost in Halloween and the final weekend before the election. It will be a summary assessment of her current health by a physician, similar to what Barack Obama released a while back. It will not contain original medical records or any hard evidence of her supposed pregnancy with, or delivery of, her infant son, Trig Palin, in April.

The McCain camp will tell the world "See? We released her medical records. What more do you want?" When the media calls the disclosure out for the thin piece of paper it is, McCain and Palin will say, "That's all you got from Obama." And before that conversation can go any further, it will be time to vote.

I'm sure that Palin believes that the questions surrounding Trig's birth will go away after she and McCain lose the election. But given her continuing posturing for a run at the White House in the future, and her continuing use of her children as campaign props, she's wrong about that.

Anyone want to speculate on her odds of filling Ted Stevens' senate seat?

I'd say the odds are not very good, since it's only going to be Ted Stevens's seat for another 5 days. Well, I guess Begich won't be sworn in for a couple months, so she could fill in the lame duck chunk of his term, but she'd have to resign the governorship to do so. I can't imagine why she'd want to do that. So, in closing, I'd say there's virtually no chance (barring the sort of tragic accident befalling Mark Begich that we don't like to speculate about, where she could then appoint herself until a special election could be held).

I think we definitely need to spend more time speculating about Sarah Palin's womb and less time thinking about the ways that Bill Sizemore and Kevin Mannix are still trying to deliver Oregonians into the hands of the envy-and-resentment, slash-the-government crowd.
