The National Review’s Kathleen Parker — an early champion of Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin’s candidacy for vice president — is now calling for Palin to withdraw from the ticket, in the wake of weak nationally televised interview performances.

Just for fun, the Internet prediction Website Intrade has opened a contract on whether Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin will be withdrawn as McCain’s running mate. Intrade users can buy and sell Palin’s stock as the projected likelihood of her making it all the way to November fluctuates.
