A Prediction

I realize this is not a political blog; however, there are certain events in the public sphere that transcend the political and become more circus-like.  Tonight's vice-presidential debate is one of them.  Therefore, I have a prediction to make.  Ready?

Sarah Palin is going to cry.

You heard it here first folks.  It worked for Hillary in New Hampshire, and it will work for Palin.  I'm not sure what the specifics will be, but at some point, someone will make a comment or ask a question that's just a bit too touchy for the Governor, and she, being oh-so-sensitive, will shed a few tears during her answer.

As a result, everyone in America will suddenly feel horrible for making fun of her, and McCain's poll numbers will skyrocket.  

However!  Two weeks from now, Ms. Palin will make a statement so blatantly horrible and offensive that it will offset the gains she makes from the crying episode and bring McCain's poll numbers back down again.

Write it down, folks.  This is what will happen.

Or not.
