Then the whole point is moot...
I hope, really hope your not saying that if Palin doesn't run, then the whole election and the whole point is moot...
My thinking, is the same as, if she was president, this is why we have VP's.
What if something happens to the President, well, we have the Vice President, and what if something happens to the Vice President, well, then the speaker of the house, and so on.
If we have that kind of thinking for elected officials, it might be wise, to have that kind of mindset for candidates we prefer......
To be honest, as much as I am hoping Palin runs, I really suspect, that she won't, and am wondering, if she will wind up endorsing someone, and campaigning for them.
Cross that bridge when you come to it. I didn’t mean the world would come to an end if she didn’t run but just that it’s too much speculation too early.
