R.S. McCain is just back from her rally in Pennsylvania and professes himself a 2012 believer . I’m not so sure; see Noam Scheiber at TNR for why the deck is stacked against her.

American Conservative blogger Daniel Larison uses snark like a shiv, taking down two McCains with a single sentence. Neo-Confederate wingnut Robert Stacy McCain wrote: I've got news for the Christopher Buckleys of the world -- if Sarah Palin is enough to make you decide you're not a Republican, you're not a Republican. I saw the Republican Party today, standing in line to see Palin at Shippensburg University.Larison writes that it makes sense to him: At the rate the McCain campaign is going, pretty soon I wouldn’t be surprised if you could fit the entire party into a ...

... has no scenario where McCain can win if he loses Ohio and Florida and only a very slight chance if he loses Florida or Ohio. McCain trails narrowly in OH and FL and there are some indications that PA is tightening up thanks to some good work by Palin who seems to be connecting with the rural/small town Pennsylvanians in the southeast and northwest corners of the state.

Robert Stacy McCain: I've got news for the Christopher Buckleys of the world -- if Sarah Palin is enough to make you decide you're not a Republican, you're not a Republican. Larison and Conor sigh. It looks as if backing Palin will be the litmus test for the base right after the election for inclusion within the Republican coalition. Are they that suicidal? Do they even know who she is? ...
