As you see, I'm the clear short stack, and getting desperate. I'm on the button; the blinds are going up soon, although not before they hit me again. The raiser has only shown down KK after a preflop raise, but that could just mean that he's a solid player who knows to be agressive with a wide range of hands on the bubble.

Push. You're too shortstacked to wait any longer. Just because he showed down KK before doesn't mean he is not on a steal now.

I'd push that every time. You're too short stacked to wait for a better hand.

Push. You don't hve enough to stop and go. Keep the blind from participating. This may be your best chance to double up. Just taking the blinds on a later hand is not going to help a lot.

Push. I think that this is much easier than the other one.

Well...I'm glad that I seem to have had the right instinct...although I sure am worried that I doubted myself in what seems to be such a clear-cut situation to everyone else.
