What though one wonders is the thinking. Does she hope even now that something will happen and she will come in at the last moment surely not. Or is it as Dick Morris has been saying all along that she is looking to 4 years time, McCain serving 4 years and then she returns as the Dem saviour but of course this may well have back fired with her now with the Palin pick of McCain's. In 4 years time she would be posed to run as President especially if it has been a successful term and with how things are going in Iraq and possible surge in Afghanistan etc it could well be a very successful 4 years. McCain may then decide not to re-run and put Palin forward citing her many successes in the first term.
The mantra that we deserve a woman as President would be awash if Palin is poised to run for the presidency.
