To do what? Throw the election for Obama like her mentor McCain did?
"Senator McCain and I agree on
the big picture, where it is
that the country needs to go."

The odds-on favorite to win the GOP presidential nod in 2012 is none other than Sarah Palin, according to a statistical formula developed by Villanova University Prof. Lara Brown. The professor's figuring is bad news for presumed hopefuls like Rep. Mike Pence, Sen. Jim DeMint, ex-Gov. Mitt Romney, former Speaker Newt Gingrich, Gov. Haley Barbour, and former U.N. Ambassador John Bolton. Many simply joined the game too late, says Brown, author of the new book Jockeying for the American Presidency: The Political Opportunism of Aspirants, which studies every election since the founding. Others, like DeMint, are still brewing but won't be ready until 2016. As for Newt? "I don't think the GOP can forgive him," she says.
The book devises an "opportunism variable" based on the candidate's résumé to explain who wins the presidency and why. Palin has an advantage because she has been elected both mayor and governor. She also was a major party vice presidential nominee, giving her an enviable breadth of political experience. According to Brown, candidates who take risks and run for a variety of offices do well. It's even better if they lose a presidential race or two. "It takes about a run and a half to get there," Brown says. Pols "may think they can get it done in six months or a year, but [winning] will actually take them running, losing, and planting seeds," she says.

Someone whose followers aren't perpetually drunk on Kool-Aid.
McCain was not a political mentor to Governor Palin, she herself is the political giant, she is creating new giants all over the nation, whom she has “mentored” to some degree, people like Christine O’Donnell.
For someone that is supposed to be interested, (in some weird, unknown way), in politics, you should know that.
Please go crawl back into your hole. You have little of value to say about anything.
This is coming from a Ron Paul supporter?
Huckabee, is that you?
Yet in an op-ed published in The Arizona Republic on 26 Mar. 2010, Palin herself admitted that she had "respected McCain" for years before 2008 and expressed "deep admiration" for his repeated "willingness" to stab conservatives in their backs.
So please, do tell, was Palin lying when she wrote those words?
Did FR's obsessive, third party, Ron Paul, Kool-Aid by the tanker truck full guy, really say that?
Most times Rabadash tries to hijack a thread anymore, he is either ignored or chastised as a malevolent petty back biter. Most people on FR have very little use for a divisive troll like that.
Got any pics of Todd with a gun that could take the place of the troll there? :)
Ping!!
