Smart man. Sarah is probably sorry she did not consider this strategy. Now hopefully she'll go back to Alaska and stay there.
Palin was the ONLY reason McCain got any conservatives to vote for him.
I believe she will be relected Governor, then she can think about running for President, if not in 2012, then most assuredly in 2016. She lit a fire under the Republican party, and the only ones who seemed not to like her, were the ones who never liked conservatives, anyway, and wanted to keep the party as a Moderate party.
