La Barracuda is doing real damage to her "bright" political future
She's not going to be a viable candidate in the future. she's well on the way to making herself such a controversial figure that she has no hope of being a candidate for national office in 2012. At the rate she's going, she may not even get re-elected in Alaska.

1. I think that is the GOP idea...
for her to make herself controversial, that is. Why, I don't know

2. She probably will not get re-elected. She has been de-bunked in a way that probably
was never done before. And she looks ridiculous. No one wants a national joke in the top office.

Oh, wait. Bush got re-elected.

never mind.


All kidding aside, our Alaskan posters need to start an Impeach Palin movement in Alaska.

3. No, I hear people saying this but I don't believe it.
Republicans are always rewarded for fighting dirty. The dirtier the better. Plus she gets the standard white people's pass.

They will keep propping her up. Her biggest problem is having to wait 8 years, but then she's young enough. What will she do in the meantime though? I think Alaska is about to recall her ass. Then again, maybe this is what you mean about destroying her future?

But I dont think you are.
She has a group of palinbots here that is wide and deep.
She wont be recalled and she will be reelected. The people here who always vote repug are stupid and there are many of them.

5. I disagree repubs self-destruct. dems self-destruct
and it doesn't matter that she excites the base if she can't get the independents. And if Alaska recalls her, if the legislature report is damning, she's completely cooked.

7. Her future
will hold the same promise as that of the post-92 Dan Quayle. National jokes do not get elected to national office.

8. I've thought about her future chances in Alaska, too
and I agree she might not get re-elected there. She deserves to get ousted by her own people who have probably never been more embarrassed in their lives.

12. Alaska is too liberal to reelect her now the facts about her have come out.
I expect her to be a Fox News employee after she's voted out of office.
