If Palin fails to get the nomination, and does not run as a third party candidate, then that would prove that she was unelectable.

Wouldn't that have proved Richard Nixon and Ronald Reagan unelectable?
===============================

No, being as they were both elected.

They both failed to be nominated or elected their first try.

I will be very surprised if Palin gets a second try.

Reagan was running against a standing president. Nixon came very close to beating JFK, and could not get an endorsement from Eisenhower in 1960.

Bob Dole was not offered a second try, and it seems inconceivable that McCain will be offered one, either.

Others who did not get a second try were Willkie, Landon and Dewey. Poor Bob Taft thought he had it all sewed up until they got Eisenhower to run.

Palin is unlikely to become more astute over the years, I would say that her popularity is near its peak.

Anybody is better than Obama, even Palin. He now sports a 37% approval rating, according to Harris. He's a bum.

President Obama is vastly better than any moron the Republicans can run. Palin is simply an opportunist that is bilking fellow morons out of their money for her speaking fees and ghostwritten books.

I really hope she runs, because she has no chance of winning. All the GOP plans to do for the next two years is to obstruct everything. This was not a plan that worked for the Newtster and it will not work now.

Apparently even a moron could do a better job at running the country than Obama, given what Obama has done to the country.  Way to go, xo

[R.R.]

I'd vote for Don Rickles over Obama. Anything is better than this.
