Conor Friedersdorf is calling for Palin to drop out. Larison replies:

Throwing overboard someone who has already been lauded as the next Reagan will provoke a grassroots fury that will make the anti-bailout protests to Congress seem like a mild difference of opinion.  Some over-enthusiastic admirers may have compared her to Joan of Arc (never a good idea), but they are not now going to accept betraying her for what they will perceive to be the appeasement of the enemy.

I don't think she'll be on the ticket in November. And it won't be appeasement.
