I thought this was pretty interesting, so here's a look at some of Skip's posts toDay:

Thing is, with the knowledge that Wilwa was an ordo, any wolves left to vote at that point would have been perfectly happy just sit back and waiver back and forth in indecision, wouldn't they? Their hands clean and all that.

Now I'm not saying that Nerwen and Greenie are necessarily innocent, but there's just something about the situation that makes me think that there were no wolves among the Wilwa-voters. Could be wrong, of course, yet:
So here he's defending the Vanilwuffin voters, including Greenie. If he were the cobbler, and he did think Greenie was evil, that is the sort of thing I'd expect - and he does it with enough of a reserved air not to attract much attention to himself.

Here he's putting a negative light on Eomer's crusade against Greenie. Since a lot of people think that one or the other must be a wolf, this could easily be interperted as Skip trying to nudge us towards Eomer and away from Greenie.

Obviously he couldn't vote for himself, so instead he follows Greenie's lead, because if he were the cobbler, he couldn't very well vote for what he thought to be a wolf - unless, of course, he wanted to pull a Boro and force a "save Greenie" bandwagon. But I don't think he played that game, so his only real option was to vote Sallycake.

So yeah, I do think Skip could well be the cobbler. But I'd prefer to lynch Eomer or Greenie, who I think could well be wolves.
