Yes, such things have happened. It happened to Tom Eagleton, who was George McGovern's pick for VP in 1972. It turned out that Eagleton had been in a psychiatric hospital and had been subjected to electroshock therapy, which was considered a bit scandalous at the time. Eagleton withdrew from the ticket and was replaced by Ed Muskie. McGovern got slaughtered in the election, although that would have happened anyway.
I think Palin's speech tomorrow is going to be HUGE!!!! I think it will be interesting to see if more people watch her speech or McCain's. Also people are going to eat her up, they will love her as much as I do (I hope so anyways)

i'd love to see mccain get slaughtered. it'll send a message that people with two xx chromosomes aren't that stupid.
