Modern conservatism is a con and the base are the marks
Everybody knows that she will not get the nomination and not become president. But let us allow our politicians, preferably with other people's money, to provide us with circuses, and Palin is definitely Circus Maximus material. So, let the show begin!
This could be the most expensive reality tv show ever.
She cost McCain the presidency. She needs to go away.

She did not cause MCCain the presidency. She has become a joke (justifiably) but she was a net positive to his campaign. He was absolutely dead in the water when he announced her...no energy and no support from the base. Overnight that changed. I catch a lot of shit for saying that selecting her was a great political move and that is easy to laugh at now. But the truth is she injected his campaign with energy and rallied the base. Obama was a lighting bolt and no one was going to beat him (especially a really old dude). She has become worse than a joke but she actually helped McCain.

George Bush cost Mccain the presidency, twice.
She may have rallied the GOP base, but that selection made moderates and undecideds think twice about McCain. One, him letting the GOP right strong arm him into picking a VP mate he didn't want, and two the specter of her being one bullet away from the presidency. Yikes...Obviously the Bush presidency hurt any GOP candidate's chances, but there were a lot of undecideds not sold on Obama and his politics. Two bad choices.
