Interesting thought:
- Ted Stevens will be giving up his seat.
- Sarah Palin has herself appointed to his seat
- Sarah Palin is now a US senator easy peasy.

i thought it was all planned this way by the Repubs so that Palin will be in a solid position to run in 4 years... ? they knew McCain and Palin didn't have a chance.
or at least that's what i'm hearing up in canada.

There will be a lot of pressure to find the Republican that can match Obama. Palin maybe could do that because she is the most charismatic and interesting personality. But she may be damaged so much by her interviews etc. that she won't be able to rebuild her reputation so it's a tough call.

hopefully obama will have modernized the presidency in such that any sort of traditional candidate from the GOP will look like a parody of itself

Also many more young voters will be voting age in 4 years and many older voters will not be around. There will be more non-white voters. That's why the GOP needs to fundamentally change if they want to stay competitive but I doubt they will do it in 4 years.

I really don't see how anyone within the Republican Party - present or future - can take her seriously enough to think she could be a presidential contender. Main reason? In four years, she's going to have no more foreign policy experience than she has right now, which is NONE. There's no reason for her to be involved in foreign policy in any way other than an observer and an outsider like any of us.
I think she is and will continue to be nothing but hot air. She just never seemed like a valid candidate and consistently seemed like someone just trying to slide by without revealing too many flaws and inabilities to think on the level required for being a vice president.
Her demeanor... if I worked with someone like that I'd go crazy. Such a total lack of professionalism and constantly came across as condescending, spiteful, hateful, and insincere.
Good riddance from the national stage.

many of mccains advisers saw her as a rogue, or a 'diva' as they called her, and too many republicans even acknowledged she was a bad decision on mccains part. i can't imagine her getting enough support for anything above a senate seat and i truly hope she hasn't gained enough momentum to ever achieve even that!

I think it comes down to one thing and one thing only: McCain really thought he could grab the votes of the disenfranchised Hillary supporters by picking a woman.
I firmly believe that, just as I did when I got the news of who he picked. McCain must have thought the rocket would take off and never land, taking him up up and away on his way to winning; meanwhile, just about every component of that ride fell apart.
And it disgusts me to have heard on the news this morning that Palin "released her medical records this week." WRONG. WRONG. WRONG.
They released a doctor's note clarifying that she is in good health, while realizing no detailed history of her health. All other candidates did. I also firmly believe that they are hiding something, just as the conspiracy theorists have speculated.
