Is Sarah Palin Going To Drop-Out?

Considering the blogging community and several press outlets are the ones that actually vetted Sarah Palin, it is no suprise that we are learning info that the McCain campaign may be wanting to keep a lid on. That, or we are learning just enough to make us all quite curious - and rightfully so.

That being said, there is also a vast array of useless speculation. I'm speaking of the "Is Trig her son or Bristol's son" type of nonsense.

As conservatives are falling over one another to have their chance to talk about Palin, her detractors, and those that may helpe or harm her, there is an element to Palin's VP status that doesn't seem to be quite "right".

Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, who was to star at two major California fundraisers and an Orange County rally for 15,000 next week, has canceled her two-day swing through the Golden State, campaign sources said.

Two California Appearances Cancelled

The change is a shocker, because Palin's presence had electrified the GOP base in California. Party insiders were distributing 15,000 tickets to her Sept. 26 rally in Orange County -- and fundraisers reported an almost instantaneous sell-out of her two $1,000-a-head Sept. 25 fundraising events in Orange County and Santa Clara.

Washington Appearance Cancelled

Republican vice presidential nominee Gov. Sarah Palin had to cancel her plan to come to Washington next week for a fundraiser and campaign rally, The Olympian is reporting.

Former Secretary of State Ralph Munro called the newspaper shortly after the event was announced to notify them of the change of plans. He said the campaign was hoping to replace Palin with Sen. John McCain's wife, Cindy, and that they were hoping to bring Palin to the state some other time before the election, as well as the nominee himself.

Yet despite recent polls showing the presidential race tightening here in Washington, Munro was only cautiously optimistic about the chances for a successful reschedule.

"We're working hard on that. We've always been realistic about it," Munro told The Olympian. "We're not Ohio. We're not Indiana. We're not Florida."

Today's Fundraiser In Va. Beach Cancelled

Sarah Palin, the Republican vice presidential nominee, has cancelled a scheduled trip to Virginia Beach next week.

“We’re very disappointed,” Kenny Golden, the GOP chairman in Virginia Beach, said Wednesday. Golden said the national campaign informed him “she’s changed her schedule.”

Palin, the governor of Alaska, was slated to appear at a private fundraiser in the resort city on Sept. 18. Golden said he was trying to arrange for her to also appear at public rally.

“We still hope to get her down here sometime, but we don’t have a commitment on any date,” Golden said.

Wyoming - Cancelled

Miami - Cancelled due to "weather issues" even though there's only a 30% chance of rain.

Tampa - Cancelled for a second time

Now, Palin has beendisinvited from the Anti-iran rally.

Some in the conservative realm are making hay out of that last one. But, when anyone says anything that might even be remotely in relation to Palin, blood-pressures are sure to rise.

Perhaps I'm reading more into this than I should. But, let's put some further context to the recent cancellations.

Todd Palin is refusing to testify about "Troopergate".

Palin has yet to release her tax returns. We have over 10 years of Bidens up for examination.

There is still the issue of her "experience" that she and McCain are intentionally spinning or ignoring all together.

And, her rhetoric ( reform, earmarks, experience, et al ) just doesn't match up with what she has actually done.

Something is brewing on the horizon.

What it is, I can't be sure of. But, one thing is for sure, it's going to be big.
