In a recent interview, Palin seemingly admitted that she plans to run on 2012. Even the RNC people were dumbstruck when Wolf Blitzer asked for a reaction. http://www.americablog.com/2008/10/palin-already-talking-about-2012.html
Link dont workfor me unfortunatly but I do know what you are refering to, is it such a bad idea? the Republican party is looking at getting rosted in the forthcoming elections so they have to plan for the future, would she be such a bad choice for candidate in 4 years time?
I would be surprised if she didn't try to run in 2012. I think she would have a tough road ahead of her.
Well, she's got 4 years to convince us, or just plain try --- that she's worthy, which I doubt anyone in the current voting population would buy.
On the other hand, 8 years ago McCain couldn't convince 1/3 of primary voters that he would be a good President. Now tens of millions of them will vote for him for that same job because he is the 'lesser of 2 evils'.
If she and Maverick #1 don't get the Presidency I think it will be REAL tough for her in 2012. Seems her popularity as governor of Alaska has slipped in all this mess. If they lose she's gotta go back and face the music there. Should she run in 2012 wouldn't you think that would be brought up again? Hmmmm....
I don't know how being a losing VP candidate affects future Presidential runs. If John Edwards is any indication, probably doesn;t bode well for her. lol
