Thanks..... I hadn’t heard what he was doing since leaving congress nor if he had any plans regarding another run. I think 12 will be basically decided upon how popular Obama is at the time. If he’s still the ‘One’ then I don’t see it in the cards to defeat him. Thus standing down for a run in 16 maybe a better option.
I think Palin is out for 12 based upon her needing to get her life back in order, family raised, book[s] written, etc. JMO but she needs to reassess her priorities and develop other skills.
