Palin's 2012 Playbook

Where does she go from here? Back to Alaska, hopefully for the rest of this lifetime. This whole talk of her becoming a player in the party is a joke. She was thrust onto America. Its not as if she went through the Republican primary field to get there. If she does decide to try her hand on the national stage, she will get chewed up and spat out at the feet of the party, many of whom blame her for the outcome of this election. She should either disappear, or become a mouthpiece for the far-right. Either way, she will never sniff the air of 1600 Penn. Ave.

So long Sarah, glad to see you go. Please keep your massive ego in the Klondike and avoid destroying any further elections.

My point was that yes education is important. Yet, just because someone has it doesn't mean that they do well or speak well or even communicate well. Sarah Palin is from a place where "if Russia comes- you need to fend for yourself" so I feel that she just needs time and more experience. Being laid back and using the accent that is from the part toof the country you are from doesn't imply that you are unedccated, which is what other people have said about her.

All great advise that assumes that Palin acutally has the raw materials necessary that after studying and preparing herself, would convince a nation to change their mind regarding their first impression.

She is most likely a perfect representative for the state of Alaska which has a population of 650,000. But their may not be enough polish in america to shine up the rough edges or address a simple lack of the necessary inherent raw materials required to truly show up in 2012.

There is a theory that most overly ambitous people will aspire to a position of incomptency. In this case the big chair in 2012 would be Palin's aspiration to incomptency and I am not sure the country is ready to take that risk, now or 4 years from now.

A gracious concession speech by McCain, the true McCain - too bad the true McCain has been missing for the past several months. Alas, it was not his time, his time was in 2000. FINALLY, a positive future, something to look forward to! Now we can walk with our heads held high. Leadership we can trust and be proud of, something we have not been able to do for 8 long years. A good legacy to leave our children and grandchildren and generations to come. A legacy of promise, hope, and good-will is the story left behind from this election, not like the nightmare from the corrupt and idiotic Cheney/Bush Administration. Thank Goodness - what a glorious, happy, encouraging, and hopeful time! I only hope the Lord watches over and protects Obama for his safety. Unlike the 2004 election where the electoral vote put Bush in office, the results of this election is the PEOPLE'S choice. A positive feel in attitudes and a true breath of fresh air. The fact that most of the world agrees with the PEOPLE'S choice of this election should tell us something - the MAJORITY of us know what that is.

First of all, not many people could or would run for this office with little or no preparation. She did and I wouldn't even want to. Second, is conservative so terrible? We look back in history and see that holding on to some basic values isn't always bad. Aren't those values what our country was founded on? Simple and laid back isn't always negitive. Some of our favorite presidents didn't even have what we call "Real schooling". Maybe we should all just relax and enjoy the positive way the world is finally viewing us which is where we really want to be.

Tip for Palin. if one day you decide to run for president, speak on unity ,instead of trying to divide america. that is was your biggest mistake. if you only target one set of ppl and x out the rest like you did for the past 2 months. then your chance of being the president is shot. also stop using religion as tool to manipulate to following you, it only works on small minded ppl.

Why is every person who speaks the truth about Palin accused of misogyny? Because unfounded ridicule is the only defense left when the truth becomes obvious. Just keep digging that hole. The deeper you go the funnier it is. I would vote for Hillary Clinton in a heartbeat.

I can???t imagine that the repugs would even consider dragging that tired laughing stock out one more time for 2012. But then again, I would never have believed that it could have happened the first time if I had not seen it for myself. Wake up Republicans, the day of the dunce is over.

I disagree with her not being a senator. She should take a page out of Obama's book. Write books - what it was like to be the first Repub VP candidate; the joys and challenges of being a special-needs child. And get into the senate if Stevens is forced out. If she is in there for a few years and does some of the other things you suggest, how could she be accused of being "too green." After all, Obama began his Pres. run after being elected Senator. Even his own party was not sure of his qualifications; see the MSM articles in early 2007. She at least would have governor under her belt, too. And think how interesting it would be for her and John McCain to still be able to try to accomplish what they wanted to do, albeit in the Senate.
