Not unless McCain ekes out a win and then turns around and stabs her in the back.
It's funny how Palin supporters twist themselves into intellectual pretzels in order to rationalize away her "loyalty" to a man who is decidedly disloyal to everything Palin claims to stand for.
Well, if one believes someone has been chosen by God at this exact moment in time to lead them out of whatever wilderness they believe themselves to be in, then anything that person says or does no matter how inconsistent or hypocritical, is subordinate and trivial to achieving the end game...or maybe this case, the end times.
The problem is that is not going to fly with the middle road, independent and blue dog dem votes one will need to to gain 50%+1 and the oval office.
Personally, I'm a little scared of what Palin might do with nukes vis-a-vis Israel and middle east countries.
I take it you don't remember the nasty 1980 primaries fight between Reagan and Bush then?
Or how Bush repeatedly ridiculed Reagan's premise that tax cuts would lead to more money for businesses to invest, higher growth and then higher profits for businesses, which in turn would lead to higher receipts for the federal government? Or how Bush continued to ridicule Reagan's tax/growth ideas as "voodoo economics" throughout the primaries?
Or how Reagan then ended up choosing the very same Bush who had trashed Reagan's tax cuts proposals and belittled Reagan as an intellectual lightweight, as his own VP candidate?
Or how Bush then proceeded to be a loyal VP for Reagan for the next 8 years?
I don’t think Palin is going to run. She is just using up the conservative energy to make money. Do you remember Colin Powell’s 1995 book tour and how he suckered everyone into thinking he was going to be the best Republican president ever? Remember:
COLIN POWELL’S BOOK TOUR-OR IS IT A WHISTLE-STOP?
The publishing world is synchronizing watches, waiting for Colin L. Powell’s new offensive to begin. No, not Desert Storm II. It’s the retired army general’s national book blitz.
In mid-September, the hero of the Persian Gulf war will launch a campaign to sell more than a million copies of his memoirs, My American Journey. If the tour lives up to megahyped expectations, Powell could launch a budding political career, maybe even a Presidential bid. But even if he doesn’t run, Powell will help his publisher, Random House Inc., win a $6.5 million gamble. That’s the reported advance the publishing giant paid the general for his rags-to-battle-ribbons saga. Random House’s planned first printing: 950,000 copies, to be sold at $25.95 each...
