She's a pawn of the Social Conservatives. They see their grip on the GOP slipping when McCain looses this election and they desperately want to keep it so they are putting a bug in her ear. Hopefully she will be ostracized for her part in this defeat.Originally posted by: Robor
Country first, right Sarah?
Someone from the (R) leadership needs to sit her down and tell her to STFU.

If McCain loses will it be because he's not evangelical enough? I think the GOP needs to break free from the far right social conservatives and leave people alone.
This is actually quite wrong. I'd consider myself a moderate republican who floats somewhere between a fiscal conservative and social liberal and she would have my vote in 2012.Originally posted by: frostedflakes
I'm sure she's popular with the base, but I'd think she would turn off more moderate Republicans.

In fact, I'm not voting for McCain in the hope that he does lose. If McCain loses, it's because he's not conservative enough. If he would have stood up to the bailout he would have actually had my vote.

Remember everyone counted out a second rate actor named Reagan.
Palin does have a chance in 2012, at least for the nomination.
What has to happen:
1) The Alaska scandals must go away, and no more surface.
2) She must enhance her foreign policy credentials.

The point is really moot, other than a kind of thorn in McCain's toe. 2012 will depend on how well Obama does. If he can manage to stay in the center and not let Pelosi run wild.... while helping the economy imrprove, he will be undefeatable in 2012 by anyone. If he blows it, the game is on. I expect he wont blow it.
ELIZABETH VARGAS: If it doesn't go your way on Tuesday ... 2012?
GOV SARAH PALIN: I'm just ... thinkin' that it's gonna go our way on Tuesday, November 4. I truly believe that the wisdom of ... of the people will be revealed on that day. As they enter that voting booth, they will understand the stark contrast between the two tickets. ...
VARGAS: But the point being that you haven't been so bruised by some of the double standard, the sexism on the campaign trail, to say, "I've had it. I'm going back to Alaska."
PALIN: Absolutely not. I think that, if I were to give up and wave a white flag of surrender against some of the political shots that we've taken, that ... that would ... bring this whole ... I'm not doin' this for naught.

For number 2, she needs to get a house in El Paso, so she can see Mexico from her porch, thus completing her North American and Central American foriegn policy credentials.
