<<Why isn't Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., bringing Gov. Sarah Palin to Washington, DC, to help hammer out the compromise on the bailout bill?

After attending McCain's speech at the Clinton Global Initiative this morning, Palin is scheduled to head to Philadelphia and be down for the rest of the day.

<<If this crisis is so serious McCain needs to suspend his campaign activities and cancel his appearance at the first presidential debate, why would Palin not be there with him in Washington, DC?

<<I know her office is in Juneau, not DC, but surely the governor McCain insists is "absolutely" qualified to run the Free World would have some contribution to make. Surely her presence is needed at such a dire time.

<<No?>>

She hasn't been a legislator since her city council days. Why on earth should she be there? I hope Tapper isn't suggesting she should be getting McCain coffee.

OK, BT, just to show the world I'm a humanitarian too, just like you.

Palin needs practice, that's why she should be there. Learn on the job. Be prepared for the next time the GOP screws up.

I knew you'd have to run her down in the end.  Why couldn't she get coffee for everyone?

That only works if you've been to the site previously.
