This is one of those times when I hope that Palin doesn't read the newspapers and her inner circle keeps news of this away from her...

If she runs, will you switch registrations and vote for her in hopes of her winning?

Ha ha, thanks!

Palin's popularity is through the roof isn't it??

She can only go down from here. Once she has to sit down and do more interviews with places outside of FOX news, she's toast. On top of that, she'll be participating in a dozen or so debates, which is dangerous for her. The sad thing is, most Republicans don't care about her incompetence.

She would loose to Obama by a huge margin (as everyone here knows),  but I would just be scared if she won the nomination.  A major party nominating her?  Insane.

Just out of curiosity, you seem like a fairly reasonable Republican - would you vote for her or Obama if it comes down to it? Just interested.

Anyway, yeah, I really, really hope Palin gets nominated. Especially since the US economy should be recovering somewhat decently by 2012 so if Obama's defeating her by this much now...
