What the people were, you know, looking for an incumbency change, and what's great, is in this country, we can say yes, we don't kind of, you know, as a maverick, you welcome surprises. Because John McCain, bless him, yeah, I have faith that for the American people, on the issues, having spoken, we did have a great result, but knowing ahead you do expect a big change, you know, there's hope.

      <![CDATA[I honestly think all of us Obama fans need to make sure she is the Republican nominee in 2012.  I could not think of a better candidate for the GOP.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

I'm not joking; we already have Obama who will run in 2012, let's make sure he picks up a few more states for his re-election bid.  We need to switch parties for the primaries and vote in droves for Palin.  Even give her a few bucks.  The last thing we want is the GOP to nominate someone competent.

      <![CDATA[She is all over the map in her responses these days... 

From the PI ... In an interview with the Anchorage Daily News, Palin faulted the policies of the Bush administration for the defeat of the GOP ticket, and said, "it's amazing that we did as well as we did."

Also, watching this video she's gone back to her old self, listen, the fakey over-played mid-west accent is gone and she's back to the hint of mid-west she's always had.
