I'm happy to join in the general rejoicing.

But may I venture to suggest that America will only have truely consigned racial issues to the history books when there is a Republican African-American president

One of the American commentators on the BBC just laughed outright when someone suggested Palin for 2012.

But what you say about America only truly consiging racial issues when there's a republican african american ..... don't you think the 2012 election will be Hilary Clinton Vs Condaleeza Rice (with Obama running for a second term)? If that happens, I don't think there will be a contest ...

At least Palin will get a chat-show on Fox.

Dunno about Condaleeza, she's badly polluted by her Bush associations. Perhaps four years is long enough for people to have forgiven and forgotten < shrugs >.

Palin 2012 will only happen if Obama looks like a lock for 2012, and no serious Republican candidate can be found willing to spend their one shot at the title fighting a hopeless cause.

That seems all too plausible.
