Start Early- Get Used to It

President Palin

There are boxes that US presidential hopefuls have to tick early. They have to start building a campaign team, albeit discreetly. They have to set up a fundraising machine. And they have to visit Iowa, the small but politically crucial state that traditionally kicks off a White House run.

Sarah Palin has ticked the first two and on Friday will tick the third when she is the main speaker at a $100-a-seat Republican dinner in Des Moines, Iowa. The party's sole superstar has not yet said whether she will seek the nomination to take on Barack Obama in 2012. But all the indications point to a run, and Friday's visit is the biggest sign yet.

Democrats may detest her, and so does the Republican establishment, for her perceived lack of sophistication and polarising effect on the electorate. But neither will make the choice in the Iowa caucus. The party activists will, and they are shifting behind her. Long before the contest has formally begun, Palin is fast on the way to becoming unstoppable.

If this sucker is going down, then she is the way to do it with panache. Sometimes it feels like only an orgy of madness can set things right.

Idiocracy, the movie, has arrived in real life.

Re: Start Early- Get Used to It

It had arrived long ago, people are just starting to see it. If she wins the nomination I'll put my house on the market, if she wins November elections in 2012, I'll be on the first plane out to India/Sweden/Switzerland..anywhere, and I am keeping my assets very liquid between now and then. Staying put would be the equivalent of holding on to Enron stock.

No, but since the country can't go on without a president, I would rather keep the one we have.

Palin is no more(or less) a disasterous, bumbling incompetent than Obozo.
Or: McInsane, Clinton(any), Gore, Bush(any), Lieberman, Cheney, Romney,
yada, yada. Pretending so is as hazardous as the FIRE economy itself.
She may or may not be more entertaining. Depends on one's own sense of
humor.

Have to disagree with this, as far as I am concerned Palin is near illiterate, completely unscrupulous and utterly ruthless in the pursuit of her own benefit. She is the lowest type of life-form that could be even conceived for the position of POTUS. I would rather vote for Robert Mugabe and I am horrified to say that.
