To be honest, I really don’t see how Palin can come back from this one”

To be honest, I think you are not making a whole lot of sense on that one.
Without Gov Palin, McCain would probably have lost as bad as Bob Dole did. The only reason why a lot of conservatives even voted for McCain at all, was because of Gov Palin.
Equally, the main reason why 4 million people less people, voted for McCain that they did for Bush in 2004, is because they couldn’t bring themselves to vote for a McCain, who had trashed and constantly ridiculed conservatives, for the entire 8 years of the Bush administration, even while doing whatever he could to frustrate the president, and paling around with Whiskey Ted Kennedy.
Lets not forget that McCain actually voted AGAINST the Bush tax cuts, was the High Priest of amnesty, and the Chieftain of the gang of 14, not to mention McCain-Fiengold.
Why on earth would any conservatives even bite for such a guy at all, without Gov Palin on the ticket?
Of course Gov Palin is going to be a very strong contender not just for the Republican nomination in 2012, but for the presidency itself,. I’d say she has a very strong chance of becoming President in 2012.
Why do you think the deranged MSM have launched an all out smear campaign against her AFTER the elections?
mccain absolutely needed someone like Palin to even have a chance. Conservatives were starving for a reason to vote for mccain because they didn’t want to just vote against Obama.
But that doesn’t mean she’d be the best pick for the top of the ticket next time.
