Every time Sarah Palin opens her mouth I cringe and now looking back I am thankful that the masses of America made the decision to elect Barack Obama President of the United States.  What’s frightening to me, though, is how many Americans were willing to vote for a ticket that includes someone this unqualified, evangelical, and unable to articulate a cogent thought.  My hypothesis… Americans saw an attractive woman in a skirt and voted for the person they wanted to see on television.

I know, that’s probably a wee bit unfair, but ask yourself – if you couldn’t see Sarah Palin on television, would you even consider voting for her?  Would the country consider a vice-presidential candidate that doesn’t know what a VP does, can’t name a periodical, didn’t have a passport until the year of their running for office, and considers being able to see Russia from a small island off the coast of Alaska foreign policy?  I don’t think they would, even looking at whatever good they wanted to find in her voice, American’s aren’t that stupid.

So where does it stand now?  There is talk that Sarah Palin will be running on the Republican ticket in 2012, virtually assuring Barack Obama another term in office.  There’s also talk that when Alaska loser Senator and convicted felon Ted Stevens is booted from office that she’ll make a run for that seat.  In a state that would re-elect a convicted felon, it’s quite likely she could stand a chance of winning that run, too.  On that, though, I may be beating a dead horse.  I’m just tired of hearing her voice and hope you are, too.

Sarah Palin Goes Prep

Win or lose, Sarah Palin seems ready to stick around Washington as Reuters is now reporting and that it’s likely, regardless of discouragement seemingly being offered by the citizens of America, that she thinks she stands a chance.

“I think that, if I were to give up and wave a white flag of surrender against some of the political shots that we’ve taken … I’m not doing this for naught,” Palin told ABC News in a taped interview airing on Thursday.

At the same time, she has also been quoted multiple times as saying, “”I truly believe that the wisdom of the people will be revealed on that day.”  If they vote Obama into office, are the American people still wise?

At this point I think there is more to the Sarah Palin story.  It’s just not obvious yet what that story is.  Although, from what I can see today it would seem that she’s more likely to stay in the limelight for a bit and then it is quite likely that she will slip back into obscurity sometime in the future.  Just a feeling, but eventually the criticism that she’s been taking will take its toll.
