Thought

Sarah Palin isn't just battling for John McCain's future on Thursday night. She's also battling for her own political future in the many, many years after this election.

  • Palin will have a lucrative career in the Right Wing, think tank, speechifying circuit. She's their darling no matter what the outcome in November. In fact her stock may rise is she's a "victim" of the election.

    Had she not been picked for VP, she may have had a shot at the US Senate. But even that would have been questionable because her veil of reformer/moralist was already beginning to unravel with the Troopergate investigation. So I think it's not at all certain that Palin had a brilliant future ahead of her. At some point her intellectual emptiness would have been exposed.

  • True, but by pulling her up too early, they may have shot her chance at big time future office.

    Dan Quayle had a career after his VP, but it's hardly the public one imagined when they picked him.
