Is Sarah Palin Finished?
That's the question that was on the tip of many a tongue last night. Sure, Sarahccuda became an overnight celebrity...for all the wrong reasons. And while it's evident now that McCain was going to lose even if Zeus had been his running mate, she certainly did the ticket more harm than good, despite an initial bounce, and her approval rating took a hit in Alaska. Frankly, the only path to a credible political future for Palin is if Uncle Ted holds onto his seat in a squeaker race that'll likely be decided by recount. That way, the Senate is likely to give convicted felon Stevens the boot, clearing the way for Palin to appoint herself to replace him, a scenario that would doubtless see her jumping aboard every available foreign junket, so as to burnish her international credibility. (By the way, McCain's concession speech was the portrait of class. Too bad he showed none of that class during the general election campaign.)

Palin isn't going to demote herself. Governor trumps Senator every day of the week.
Ask Bush 43, Clinton, Reagan, Carter.

I'd generally agree with you, Don, but not in Palin's case. She obviously has aspirations to run for the highest office in the land, and is currently seen, fairly or not, as a ditzy rube from the furthest corner of the nation. The only way to change that impression would be to go to the other Washington and tackle some meaty international issues.

Normally I'd agree with you Seely. If the Republicans held the majority in D.C. How does being a freshman Senator in a weakened party help one's political chances.
Hell, I doubt Senate leadership would even let her pass a legislation to get a commemorative stamp celebrating Alaska's 50th anniversary in the union.

I'll tell you how: Simply by being there, she will be broadening her epxeriential horizons. She can't do that from her deck in Alaska, not even with binoculaurs.

They can shut her up in a nunnery, give her books and the best teachers in the world to hammer history, economy, science, international relations, astronomy, geology, evolution theory and one or two languages, into her limited brain, but nothing of the above can help save Palin: she simply is not a scholar nor intellectual. She would be a good repeater of stuff she learned during the 4 years of drilling, but she still would be terrifyingly inadequate and dumb. You can not change the person she is and that is alas, a mediocre woman with not too many talents but with many unethical tactics to get where she wants to go.

Yes, its true Sarah Palin has no intellectual ability
and can never learn everything that she needs to learn, this is something that is started when you are young. She only has a lot of moxie and alot of unethicals characteristics to get her where she wants to go. This woman is frightening and a nut job. Please tell her to go home to Alaska and take care of her dysfunctional family. Hillbilies and Grifters! Pathetic and a ridiculous choice made by McSame.

She is not only unintelligent, she abused her popularity by conducting herself in such an unprofessional manner with McCain and staff. She is done but not bright enough to know that.
