Fox reveals that McCain aides were truly "shocked" at the "gaps in knowledge" Sarah Palin displayed once they were stuck with her.  She could not name all of the countries in North America, he said, not even the NAFTA partners. (USA, Canada, Mexico.)  She was so out of touch she actually refused coaching before the Katie Couric interviews, then

I wonder if the Larry Hodges campaign will kick off with a warm up run for a congressional, senatorial, or other office?

I agree that a monster has been created in Palin. Good thing is that something can happen in 4 years to hurt Palin's rise and/or see the emergence of a new player in the GOP. Till the possible becomes actual, it's only a distraction.

The ball is in Obama's court now. If he fares well, the odds are against the Republicans challenging him in 2012.

And since we can count on Palin to be herself, she'll shoot herself in the foot as she goes and do nothing to make up for her lack of knowledge.

Palin has a faction within the GOP carved out for her, but she hasn't displayed the ability to form alliances with opposing Republican factions nor with Democrats.

Palin is exactly the type of candidate that can rise in a time of disarray. If the Republicans are still in disarray in 2012, she can rise as the clear voice of "pure" conservatism, and they might rally around her as their candidate. If Obama messes up, the country may tire of "liberalism," and turn to a "fresh approach," i.e. Palin's unthinking conservatism. Scary times can bring about scary results!

Witness Hitler.

Like it or not, Barack's gotta fix Bush's mess to keep Palin and her ilk out in 2012.

I've gained more confidence in Obama from his actions since taking office. Even more so because comedians nationwide lament that there's little to make fun of over him, a promising sign. (They should parody his being "perfect," and take it way over the top, with impersonators appearing to walk on water, raise the dead, etc.)

SNL's gonna be all over that before a person can Mississippi once.
