Here’s a really smart move. Tick off the queen bee of the hardcore right’s anti-feminist, anti-choice movement by canceling a planned appearance at the Republican National Coalition for Life being held in her honour.
“I think this is clearly somebody in the McCain campaign who doesn’t understand where the votes are coming from,” Schlafly told ABC News. “They only told me this at 10 o’clock last night, and it was a call from somebody down-the-line in the McCain campaign. The pro-lifers who paid $95 to come to this event because of Sarah Palin are going to be very unhappy,” she added.
Bookmakers have lowered the odds of McCain dumping Sarah Palin as his running mate from 20-1 to 8-1 today, with odds of Palin leaving the ticket at 14-1 compared to 28-1 before yesterday’s news about her teenage daughter’s out of wedlock pregnancy. Other bets on offer include 33-1 that she will be gone by the end of the week and 10-1 that she’ll quite the race.
