#2 Was he committed for the McCain 2008 run?

#3 I'm pretty sure the ONLY reasons the McCain camp selected Sarah Palin in 2008 are these:
1) she's a good-looking governor

2) Hillary Clinton had been bypassed for the #2 slot on Obama's ticket and the campaign staff were gambling that women (at least the single women that normally come out in droves for Dems) would suddenly vote for a woman.

I rather liked Sarah, personally, but I don't think the McCain camp particularly did. She was part of a political gamble. It didn't pay off.

Hopefully her association with McCain won't hurt her in the future.

#4 Seems he has to win Senate re-election in AZ first...

Will Palin offer McCain a VP slot?

...
3) McCain didn't want to suffer the greatest landslide defeat in modern history as the real Republican party conservatives stayed home on election day.

#7 I hope the GOP can come up with someone better than Sarah Palin.

#8 That's OK - Palin isn't committed to McCain for 2012 either.

#10 Way too early to say about 2012. And if I did have a favorite GOP candidate I wouldn't mention him/her this early, the MSM would take the next three years to destroy said candidate.

Nah, she'll, if anything, maybe offer him the Ambassadorship to AARP (American Association of RINO Politicians?)...

That is a fact.

#14 I'd be surprised if Palin ran again. Between the Democratic Party, the Republican Party, and the elitist MSM she got slammed. I think the voters were the only ones that liked her.

#15 "I think the voters were the only ones that liked her."

Too bad we don't count, John. :-(

You mean like the are doing to Palin now and have done since the Convention?

They vetted the mother of the father of the baby of the daughter of Palin more then they 'vetted' the democratic Presidential candidate.
