Do you think if Obama wins the election,sarah will come back in 4 years?

[McCCain4retirment]

do you have a feeling when obama wins this election,it's not going to be the last of Sarah Palin?

[ingac70]

1. The social conservatives will bring her back...

but she won't get anywhere.

[BlooInBloo]

2. No...

This has been another episode of Simple Answers To Simple Questions.

[seabeyond]

3. no. she cannot get the women vote. she lost it. there is a reason the other political

women dont behave like she does. and htey could do it too. they dont cause they know it doesnt work on women and women will not support her.

she lost it

[napi21]

4. NO! Whateverf is left of the Pub Party would NEVER let that happen!

WAY too many of them are sorry she's here NOW!

[classof56]

5. Doesn't she have some sort of legal issue to deal with up in Alaska?

Probably oughta get that fixed before she looks too far in the future.

Obama/Piden '08

Whoops! Meant to say Obama/Biden of course. Darned typos!

[Curtland1015]

6. Honestly, no.

People on losing tickets historically don't do so well. Not to mention, all the Repigs praising her right now would, when running against her in 2012, TEAR HER TO SHREADS.

I expect her to be a Fox News talking head in two years.

[LiberalFighter]

47. Each case is different.

Consider Nixon losing against JFK then winning after LBJ bowed out.
Grover Cleveland lost re-election then came back 4 years later.

If Gore had wanted to run again in 2004 or 2008 he would had had a good chance of winning election because of his network.

Andrew Jackson did it against John Q Adams. They both ran in 1824 with Adams winning even though Jackson had the most electoral votes and most popular votes. In 1828 Jackson beat Adams and then served 2 terms.


The exception to this is that Palin doesn't have credentials. If she were to be credible she would have to move to a state in the lower 48 and get elected Governor and demonstrate her executive skills. That would also include demonstrating how she interacts with neighboring states that are impacted.

[AzNick]

7. Let's donate to the democrats in AK

If we donate her opponent enough money, he may be able to run a good campaign and take that state from her.

Now, her running in 2012 against Obama may not be a bad thing, after all.

[Bryn]

16. Excellent idea

Just make sure her opponent doesn't support drilling for oil, destroying AWNR, shooting down wolves from airplanes, fighting to remove polar bears from endangered list to be shot down to more room for moose/caribou. Then I will set my eyes on him/her for support.

[hisownpetard]

8. No. She's the Republican Pet Rock of 2008 and is on the 14th of her 15 minutes of fame.

If she doesn't work as their good luck charm, she'll be dropped like a hot tomato (sic).

She is not and will not ever be a viable candidate.

[Seen the light]

9. She WILL be the nominee in 2012

As long as she wants it.

The base worships her and that's all she'll need.

[tridim]

12. I think it'll be Adam Putnam

IMO Palin's political career is already over, she just doesn't know it yet.

[Seen the light]

19. Of course it is nationally, but again....their base still loves her

In a head-to-head with Romney in the primaries, do you actually think that Romney would beat her?

[Curtland1015]

24. In a head to head, Romney would CRUSH her.

I don't like Romney, but he is a much smarter person & a much better politician than Palin.

Add to that the fact that she will already have shown herself to be beatable, and her aversion to one on one interviews (this wouldn't be like running for VP), and she would be destroyed.

[951-Riverside]

35. The base worships her because they want John McCain to win

but there will be many choices in 2012 and she won't be one of them IMO.

[Kool Kitty]

46. And if everyone in the United States

that is of legal voting age in 2012 has gotten a frontal lobotomy in 2011, she wins.

[AZSlacker]

10. I think it depends on how much McCain loses by.

If it is by an embarrassing margin, I think we've probably seen the last of her. If it isn't, then yes, she'll probably be back in 4 or 8 years. Here is to hoping we don't see her again after this election cycle.

[Bryn]

11. She can come back if she wants to make a fool of herself

More Tina Fey on SNL. I honestly don't think she'd be "popular" anymore. She has only one base - Religious Fundamentalist Freaks who believe in rapture, doomsday. They're nuts!

[Bubbha Jo]

13. No. She's a laughingstock now.

[saltpoint]

14. No.

Obama will win in November and McCain's choice of Palin will be seen, at best, as being "no help" for the Republican cause.

The fundie nutbags like her, but they also, at best, will be seen as being no help for the Republican cause.

Obama will carry red states McCain figured he'd win easily. We will win both the electoral college and the popular vote while the GOP will have to sit their smug, ignorant asses down and retool. They can't continue with the current formula of unethical corporate greedheads and Armageddon-now morons.

[sufrommich]

Sarah will be irrelevant in about 2 minutes

after Obama wins. Like Quayle.

[MoonRiver]

15. She will probably try, like Dan Quayle did.

And the results will be the same.

[treestar]

17. No, she'll end up a sportscaster

She may even be impeached in Alaska.

[tridim]

27. Or she'll end up on Faux as their senior spokesbimbo.

[Ewellian]

18. No...

her base will be raptured by then. :D

[secondwind]

20. God, I hope not ! Five weeks and counting is enough for me................

:puke:

[ronnykmarshall]

21. Nawwww.

She'll do one of those "Remember me?" American Express ads.

[medicswife]

22. I think we'll see that hungry Eric Cantor vying for the position!!!nt

[Overseas]

23. Reality TV show, Governor Barracuda, begins Jan. 18th on E!

:sarcasm:

But truth is stranger than fiction, so you never know...

[Ikonoklast]

25. You're seeing a political career that's a dead man walking

It still resembles a living thing, but it will soon topple over and become perpetually inert.

She'll be lucky if she evades criminal charges from Troopergate.

[The empressof all]

26. If she wins re election in Alaska she'll be back

She's a national figure now and has probably developed the taste for blood. Let's hope the people of Alaska are smart enough to kick her back to Wasilla where she belongs.

[NV Whino]

28. No.

Sarah is a one trick pony.

[JerseygirlCT]

29. Actually, I think she'll have faded into bad memory by then

At least I hope so.

[donco6]

30. She'll be in the same trailer with Tonya Harding.

No chance will she be back.

[vaberella]

31. No. Freepers can hold on to their delusions but she's ruined her career.

Her career is officially over and the longer she goes on with the farce the worst her political expectations in AK have been burnt to ashes. She has joined a failed ticket. She is in the midst of the worst type of economic crisis in the nation and can't handle it. She is known all over the nation as someoneo who has forced rape victims to pay for their medical kits. She has not only ruined the life of a well-liked and possibly loved commissioner who fought for women's rights and then calls him a liar.

Further more SNL and her interviews will live on with infamy as well as her infamous statement of not answering the questions at the debate but calling it a win.

[gristy]

32. No

[Davis_X_Machina]

33. No. Bubbles don't un-pop. n/t

[951-Riverside]

34. Umm no

Shes done for, I don't even think she stands a chance in Alaska.

[RagAss]

36. She'll fade like a bad fart.

[electron_blue]

37. It's clear she wants to be back.

[JimWis]

38. No way. I still think that they know they can't win this year and

are just throwing McCain and Palin under the bus. Now they will have 4 years to find someone better, better in their eyes anyway. But Obama will get 8 years in my opinion, so it won't matter.

[malik flavors]

39. Not if troopergate takes her down. I think she's too divisive though.

Conservatives like her, but I don't know if she could win the presidency.

[eShirl]

40. "Nuke 'em from orbit. It's the only way to be sure."

I didn't think that nutball Ronald Reagan would be back after '76.

[billyoc]

41. She'll be back in four years, for another parole hearing.

:hi:

[mile18blister]

42. If we're lucky she'll be raptured away before 2012.

If not, she's avoided and ticked off the M$M enough to prevent a replay.

[Motown_Johnny]

43. she will try

[dee15644]

44. she will try

but I believe this campaign has damaged her!

[Yavin4]

45. She Will Replace Elizabeth Hasselback on The View

'natch.
