1. I wish she would, but she won't

Too much family history.

I was terrified MCCain was going to choose her for a running mate, but he (or his handlers) did a 180.

3. I don't think she would ahve accepted. I 'm not sure how healthy she is, and she's a pretty

private person relatively speaking in terms of political life. That would be impossible on a presidential ticket.

6. No, I agree with all that

But, the idea of a "Liberal Republican" woman on the ticket with McCain scared me!

7. Yeah, that would have been scary, but Palin still scared me more. LOL

2. It'll never happen, and even if it did all you would have gotten was another

conservadem.

She's nice. I like her. I even voted for her a few times. But I'd rather see her be wooed across the aisle bill by bill than added to the Dems and help pull them rightward.

4. The article suggests she could be defeated in the '12 primary

5. I've heard rumors up here that she might not run again.

8. And Lucy is gonna hold that football for Charlie Brown

9. Just wait until after the election

The Repigs are going to try to entice at least a few of our Senators over to the dark side of the Force. They probably won't have to even try hard with Baucus and Nelson.
