Nah. Hunter will be. But that’s OK, he’s much more conservative anyway.

Hunter barely caused a ripple among the GOP. He's got many great qualities, but he doesn't have the charisma necessary to get elected. Period. End of story.

Conservative he may be, but he lost me when he backed the Huckster. Huckabee??? ROFL

Fact is, Palin is already more popular than Hunter will ever be. MAYBE, if he plays his cards right, she'll ask him to join her on the ticket. MAYBE, but she'll have many suitors.

If Palin becomes VP in January and serves 4 years, she would obviously be handed the nomination on a silver platter, should McCain not run, which would be likely. If she goes back to Alaska in 2 weeks and keeps doing what she's been doing there, she will only build her experience and credibility.

She got thrown in the middle of a nasty national election with little notice, having never been in that big of a limelight before. She may have had some rough spots with some "gotcha" interviews, but she absolutely KILLED at the GOP convention and on the stump. She has "IT" whatever "IT" is. I give her an A+ performance in the campaign. Grading he on the "never been here before" curve, she gets an A+++. In 4 years, regardless if she's in DC or Alaska in the meantime, she will be all more the polished and experienced.

Let's not forget, she's being "handled" by McCain's campaign staff, which I'm afraid they've not done a very good job.

Imagine her in 4 years, completely off the leash from any "handlers". She basically has the job in 2012 if she wants it.

No worries, ace. Hunter did something foolish. He assumed his longtime allies at the ACU and Heritage Foundation and Human Events etc would support a Reaganite and help him leapfrog the competition. Instead, they immediately ran to the RINO “frontrunners” because of star appeal.

He knows now what has to be done now. And if you’ve ever listened to a Hunter speech versus a Palin speech, there is a world of difference. He has more knowledge and conservatism packed into his back pocket than the rest of the GOP combined, including Sarah.
