As far as national politics go, this is the end for that dim witted babe. That prank call she received from fake French President is a great highlight of this campaign though along with Joe the plunger.
Thanks for the memories McCain-Palin.
Palin might get the nomination in 2012, because the Republicans are still controlled by the religious nut-cases.
the party has changed, no more the party of Goldwater.
If the party was controlled by the religious right, McCain would never have been nominated.Originally Posted by cindy25
True.
You know that there are plenty of people out there right now quietly muttering "Huckabee 2012" to themselves.
Somewhere in this prank call where Palin is duped by Canadian radio DJs, she also says that she may be President in 8 years:

I would put her chances at about 1% or less. She's the hotter and lesser bright version of Dan Quayle.
I actually think Palin has a shot in 2012, remember this is the GOP not the dem. party. Republicans have historically come back from the dead over and over again, Nixon, Reagan, HW Bush. She definitely still has a shot
Huckabee will be forgotten by then.

I am a libertarian. I am advocating everyone enjoy maximum freedom on both personal and economic issues as long as they do not bring violence unto others.
If that is the case it will be another Democrat landslide.

Tucker Carlson has a blog now, and he wrote about Romney having a good chance at getting the nomination in 2012.
Can the GOP be that stupid??
Yes. Their leadership and a good chunk of their rank and file live for the war. Most Republican partyhacks I've talked to about economics refused to even believe the Federal Reserve isn't federal.
Sure, the GOP quickly forgot that they were trounced in 2006. They always blame the media and never take responsibility for themselves. After this election we must provide leadership and demand change within the party. Back to the GOP roots!

cycles are almost always 8 years, so Obama is the overwhelming favorite for 2012.
if not Palin who else? she would be the only one dumb enough to try
mitt romney had cut himself a check so as to eliminate a messy big campaign debt that could have cut short his next run if it lingered too long...
Huckabee could have actually pulled this off way better than McCain.
I hope he runs in 2012
Unless the economy finishes crashing. And I'm pretty sure it will.
Actually, according to the exit polls, Palin helped McCain. 68% of votes said that Palin affected their decision, and 55% percent of those people voted for McCain.
Of the people who cared about Palin, the majority voted for McCain. Just by those numbers, it would seem she helped the ticket.
The Republican party is still controlled by neo-cons. To change that in the foreseeable future we need moreless an act of god.

This poll suggests otherwise:
http://story.birminghamstar.com/inde...d/424516/cs/1/Poll says Palin has hurt McCain in election run-up
Birmingham Star
Friday 31st October, 2008
According to the latest New York Times/CBS News poll, a growing number of voters are concerned John McCain's running mate, Sarah Palin, is not qualified to be vice president.
The people polled also said the choice of Palin had hurt McCain’s image and they had little confidence in his ability to pick qualified people for the administration.
Gary Johnson is the only Republican who can beat Obama in 2012
Palin is not going to run. She looks uncomfortable when she speaks, like she doesn't want to be here.
People aren't nut cases because they are people of faith..
I dunno, she seems pretty pumped about running things going by this

The prank call was her handlers fault not hers...
That brings up a very good question, how the hell DID McCain get nominated. Seems like every McCain supporter I know says things like, well I would have preffered (Huckabee, Paul, Giuliani, Romney, Hillary, Thomson) but I need to go with him because I dont like Obama.
Have you listened to it? She kept on talking despite many cues that it was a prank. Paris Hilton was the other one they had to tell that it was a prank call. The other folks they pranked picked up on it and hung up.
NC doesn't need ThomTillis as the Republican nominee for US Senate.
Because the media nominated him. He was dead in the water, up to his eyeballs in campaign debt, and totally lacking in any support.
Then the media started telling us he was going to make a comeback. Pretty soon they were calling him the "presumptive nominee".
It was all downhill from there.
Look at some news stories for the time period between the Iowa caucus and the New Hampshire primary. Ron Paul practically TIED McCain in Iowa, one of the two largest farming states in the country, by running on a platform that wanted to get rid of farm subsidies.
All of the sudden the media machine started cranking:
-McCain endorsed by Boston Herald
-McCain endorsed by two largest newspapers in New Hampshire
-Poll numbers began to increase for him on all major news outlets (it wasn't because of anything he did, he was out of cash)
-More than 50% of the media coverage of the Republican primary went to McCain rallies
-I lost count of how many times I heard/saw the phrase "The Mac is Back!" within that week.

Palin is taking all the blame? I don't understand why considering without her, nobody was even happy with nomination of Mccain. He probably would have had less numbers.
This is the GOP yet again refusing to take any responsibility for choosing the wrong person so they blame the vice president, interesting.
If I said "Irish Terrorists" would you think I meant that all Irish are terrorists or would you think that I am referring to the subset of terrorists who are Irish?
Likewise, the "Religious nut-cases" in question simply refers to the group of nut-cases who's nuttiness centers around their religion and who happen to have a distressingly loud voice in the GOP. As opposed to the non-nutty religious Republicans who are not in control of the GOP.
All your voter base are belong to us!
Palin is headed the "Dan Quayle" rout- an unprepared, and not very bright, person is thrust into the national spotlight by a seemingly random VP pick.
After losing, the Quayle/Palin creature decides to strike out next time at the top of the ticket.
Republicans are slow, but they catch on eventually- they realize a dim wit like Quayle /Palin hasn't got a chance in Hell of winning the top job.
Quayle/Palin creature loses badly in primaries.
Fades into obscurity.
End of story.
