And we have our reason...

With all the gaffes Sarah Palin has been making on the campaign trail (Great Depression, anyone? How about 'Stump the Candidate'?), it's no wonder that the McCain campaign wants to shut her up. So when yesterday's great announcement about a campaign suspension came about, it was discovered very quickly what the motive may have truly been:

McCain supporter Sen. Lindsey Graham tells CNN the McCain campaign is proposing to the Presidential Debate Commission and the Obama camp that if there's no bailout deal by Friday, the first presidential debate should take the place of the VP debate, currently scheduled for next Thursday, October 2 in St. Louis.

There you have it folks. Instead of finding a qualified candidate who can actually talk about the issues, McCain has decided to find something in a skirt to appease still-angry Clinton supporters without actually making a true difference to women. (The women who fall for this should have their vagina cards revoked, by the way.)

How convenient.
