    To play Devil's advocate: In four years, she'll be more experienced, basically negating her biggest flaw.

    Also, she'll be running against an incumbent, and if Obama is half the messiah he says he is, nobody will be able to beat him anyway.


    In four years, she will have even more executive experience than Obama.

    her biggest flaw is that she uneducated ... you can list her degrees and her "experience" all you want but bush graduated from yale ... we all know that shit means nothing if you don't know how the executive branch works in the gov't she hopes to lead ...

    it was in fact her "experience" that was the only thing anyone positive could say about her ...

    You've contradicted yourself in your own post ... Palin is "uneducated" ... but Bush went to Yale, so what difference does it make?

    Her lack of experience -- "I can see Russia from my house" -- was the No. 1 reason people who would otherwise be inclined to support her did not. That won't be a problem in 2012.

    Now, by then, there might be another candidate that's more appealing. I don't know. But I do know it's silly to discount Palin as a candidate in four years, based on her resume in 2008.

    Actually, I think in four years, the gap would still be the same ... you're just (ostensibly) adding four years to each side of the ledger.

    Honestly, I don't think her lack of experience was the reason people did not back her. It was her lack of understanding. Big difference.

    Right, but 6 years is even more impressive than 4 years.

    For me her hostility and blatant anger was as much a turn-off as her lack of experience.

    Yeah, and six years of being the governor of the smallest state in the union should count more towards experience than four years as the POTUS. Makes sense.

    I've heard she's planning on sticking around for a while, and if McCain croaks it, she will most likely be head of the republican party. So it's quite likely she'll look to become president of the united states, but unless she does something drastic, she will never succeed.

    there is nothing I want more than for Palin to be the Republican candidate for President in 2012. If that's the direction that comes out of the current implosion of the party, then the Senate and House of Representatives will become more blue, and the White House will remain blue for years to come...unless Dem's screw up royally.

    Gawd, I can't believe I'm about to type this: I miss her already.

    Maybe it's because I know she can't hurt us for at least four years. Maybe that's why I miss her headache-inducing sentences, her lack of general knowledge.

    Seriously, it's tough not to miss her.

    Who else would have the balls to straight up tell a debate moderator that they're not going to answer certain questions? Palin, that's who.

    Who else would wink at TV cameras? Who else was so damned ditzy that they couldn't answer seemingly simple questions without crash courses on subjects? Palin, that's who.

    Who would then stumble around coherent answers like a drunk on a ship deck in a storm at sea? You guessed it: Palin.

    She never got off message or talking points no matter how dumb it made her look.

    Palin brought countless hours of frustrating entertainment. Who could forget that feeling of anxiousness whenever she was on TV. What dumb thing will she say next?

    I miss Bill Maher slamming her every Friday. I miss Tina Fay making dumb sexy on a resurgent SNL.

    I'm addicted mentally, physically and, well, physically.

    My eyes wanted to jump out of my head; my fists wanted to punch her in the neck; my dick wanted to do painful things to her.

    But now she's gone like Santa Christ to the North Pole.

    I miss shopping sprees. I miss bigotry. I miss Trig, Track, Piper, Bristol, Sleepy, Doc and Zeppo.

    Oh no!

    I miss Palin.
