I just can't imagine any sane person voting for the horrible woman for President. There must be a lot of her fellow whack-jobs out there. Well I know there is, they voted for Bush twice and are voting for McCain.

Seriously, is there talk of Palin running for president? That's astonishing. It's embarrassing enough in the world's eyes that she's a VP candidate. If a major party runs her for president, it's, well, unthinkable.

It's unthinkable that she'd ever win the GOP nomination. Her political career is dead at the national level for at least the next 8 years. It's very hard to shake the reputation as a laughingstock/lightweight once you get tagged like that. Look at Dan Quayle - his political career never recovered. The GOP's going to be looking for some new leaders, and Palin won't be among them.

Well I agree and disagree.

I think for the sane portion of the US, she's most certainly done politically. But I could see the R's running her again in 2012 out of desperation.

I mean the brand is already in the toilet and the ONLY people who'll reliably vote R no matter what are the people who think she's just fantastic.

Some rumahs on the internets speculate that the 'unnamed aides' are gearing up for 2012. They came over after the primaries to join the McCain campaign from possibly Huckewheeee or Rom-nit and are already trying to 'label' Palin as a whack-job, Diva, etc., working for that future Fundie vote ....

No freaking way this happens. Just no way. It would be party suicide.
