In light of recent goings-on, anybody care to offer an update on how happy they'd be to see this loon in the Whitish House?

:facepalm: That's all I can think of.

Vanishingly small? I wish! You have a high estimation of teh Merkin public's intelligence.

That's assuming that Palin could make it to the general election in November 2012.

But she'd have to duke it out with the Republican heavyweights for the party's nomination, and the other Republican candidates will obliterate her in the primary. If she thought that the Democrats and the liberal media were a bunch of meanies in 2008, she won't know what hits her in early 2012. It'll be interesting to see who she tries to blame when it's her own fellow Republicans bad-mouthing her and dragging out her dirty laundry.

Her problem will always be that she only appeals to a very slim fringe of the most hardcore conservative teabaggers. Any slightly more moderate candidate is going to garner a greater number of Republican voters, and I have full faith in the ability of Republicans to eviscerate Palin in order to further their own political careers. Palin is sort of like the female version of Jimmy McMillan from the Rent Is Too Damn High Party.

Especially if someone like Karl Rove gets involved. That dude is merciless!

..... and The Palins really come of age with some good old traditional 'celebrity' gossip

I wonder how many people might vote for her partly out of morbid curiosity about what kind of shit would go down.

The sad thing is, I don't even see major differences between the parties at this point.

What do you mean by "major" differences between the parties? Were there ever really "major" differences between the Democrat and Republican parties in your opinion? What were they?

The only difference between the two parties is that as one becomes just as conservative, authoritarian or extreme as the other, the other becomes even more so. That's what it looks to me. And unless things change, I think we're seriously fucked as a society and doomed as a species. And I don't know how a relative few can change it, especially when the news media here boils politics down to a stupid horse race between two parties.

On that note, maybe I should have kept my mouth shut about that map!

And as long as "a vote for a third party is wasted," nothing will change.
