Outsider's view

Here's a great article about the Palin/McCain campaign's current dysfunctional state from the Times of London. It's interesting to see the European view of our political theater.

I love these idiots that actually believe that Sarah Plain could run for President. Notice I didn't add "in 2012" to that statement...that's because it will NEVER happen. Here's why.

1. Obama wins this election.
2. Once in office he actually does reform things and make a significant difference. Even if all Obama manages to do is turn the economy around his 1st term will be a huge success.
3. After two terms of Obama backed by a Democratic Congress the remaining factions of the GOP will have been forced EVEN FURTHER to the right and unless they can manage to steal another election the entire Republican Party will fall apart.

Even if the GOP survives the next 4-8 years without alienating the majority of its supporters they will never put Palin on a ticket again. Once McCain looses she's going to come out bitching and moaning about what they did wrong and how she would have run a better campaign. That is going to end up pissing off the wrong people in the GOP and they'll sideline her ass back to Alaska so fast she won't know what happened. If she's lucky she'll get re-elected as Governor or maybe be able to run for crooked old Ted Stevens's Senate seat but this is her 15 minutes now and I think she knows it. also, given her track record you can be sure that in the intervening years she will continue to act unethically and illegaly.
