Rummy,
I was still typing when you posted - see above. It may be a long
wait. Remember, it was two decades between JFK and Ronald Reagan.
Palin will be around in some form for a long time. If she chooses to
run for a second term as Guv she'll win easily or a US Senate seat in
two years. You obviously don't like her, that's fine. I seriously
doubt you've done your homework on what she's accomplished in Alaska,
including blowing-up her own party to weed out the bad guys. We need
more people like Palin who follow-up on their talk with action instead
of bullshit.
