Maddow on Palin: 'It is becoming less likely by the hour that she will be McCain's nominee.'

In an interview with ThinkProgress earlier today in St. Paul, progressive radio (and soon-to-be-TV) host Rachel Maddow called the decision-making process for John McCain's selection of Sarah Palin 'shocking.? ?Nobody can quite believe that John McCain picked her,? she said, adding, ?I think the question right now is whether or not the choice is going to be withdrawn.? The decision to replace her needs to happen ?very quickly,? Maddow said, ?before it gets very complicated with the rules of the RNC?: And I think that that's actually what people are thinking about, rather than what will Sarah Palin mean for the country. I don?t get the sense that anybody is totally committed to the idea that she is going to be vice president, or even the vice presidential nominee. This has been greeted with such shock ? and with every salacious detail about stuff that wasn?t vetted coming to the floor seemingly with each hour of the news cycle ? it is becoming less likely by the hour that Palin will still be John McCain's nominee even by the end of the week.
