Default The election is over, Obama won

Why on gods earth is the left still pre-occupied with Palin? Please.. get a life. Go out and spend money, after all, you need to prove Obama was the right one, and you cant do that sitting at home complaining about the losers..

Because keeping her in the spotlight increases the chance of her being chosen to run in 2012, which would equal a landslide for Obama.

So instead of hearing all of the wonderful things Obama will do over the next 4 years, you guys have decided to start your negative campaign against the next candidate, before your candidate has even taken office. Yeah, that makes a lot of sense.. please..

I still can't stand her. I was just re-watching her smug, rude RNC speech for laughs and she asked;

"What's the difference between a small town mayor and a community organizer"? And I have an answer for her:

PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.

Hah!

you do realize that her teleprompter went out for 10 minutes during her speech, she had to improvise and that's why people love her. she was able to crack off a couple jokes on her own.

ironically she is STILL more qualified than obama at this point.

First of all, that was a myth.

Second of all, since when was cracking jokes a qualification to become president?

If she was qualified, 60% of America wouldn't think otherwise. If you think she's qualified, I'm going to advise you to lay off the drugs.

Honestly - because we were so mystified by the pick in the first place, and so curious about what could be going on behind the scenes - who approved, who didn't, etc., that the story just isn't over yet. Give it a while.

Also, I suspect we are not rid of her and she will appoint herself to the senate.

Yep, that sums it up quite well. But, when you think about it, these people are just like their candidate -- always campaigning and quickly bored/disenchanted with the actual job. Obama wanted to move on after just one year in the Senate; I wonder what he expects to move on to after a year or two in the presidency?
