LOL the funny thing about this, is that Sarah Palin is the only reason McCain didn't loose by 20 points!!
Why?? because of the 41% of America that defines itself as conservative, 15% voted for Obama. Whereas 95% of the 39% that identifies itself as liberal voted for Obama. Conservatives, rejected McCain more than any other factor that elected Obama. If Hillary had been on the Dem ticket - that would have been 25-30% - but because Palin was on McLame's ticket - that extra 10-15% voted for the AZ Senator.
Palin is already on a short list for 2012... so some peeps will get what they want... more Palin. Doubtful she will be on the Repub. 2008 presidential ticket - but she will be a major player in the Republican Party - along with the rest of the up & coming young very conservative governers (i.e. Jindal - LA). It's more likely that she will be running in AK to take back Ted Stevens Senate seat.
