What now for Palin?

Has Palin ever actually lost anything? From what I recall of her bio, she was always the top dog, winning everything she set her sights on. This loss has got to be hard on her so whether she's willing to go out on a limb at any point in the future and risk another knock down is hard to say. I don't see her ever being seriously considered as a presidential nominee by the Republican party unless she does something outstanding politically...which I don't see happening.

I don't think Palin will do anything else really. This was her 15 minutes. Only the self proclaimed "Maverick" John McCain would have ever picked her for that position. And he only did it for attention. I'm sure he knew he wasn't going to win the presidency. Come on first black president on the democrat party? Sheesh. If it a black man on the republican side then yeah you've got a chance, cause the dems will just say "He's working for the white man." The shoe on the other foot: no. Palin stood up to the big oil companies in Alaska blah blah blah. Yeah sure, that's why oil runs Alaska. Lol what did she do? Stand up, and hand them land deeds? sheesh. She'll finish out her term as governor, probably try to do something else, but voters just won't be interested, and she'll end up becoming the member of some small town school board.

I think in four years Sarah Palin will be a front runner for the Republican nomination. This election should help her win in 2012 because she will have experience with a national election. She now has national exposure which her opponents in the party probably will not.

I used to believe that Kerry will run for the President this year but it turned out i'm wrong. I don't what will Palin do after this campaign, is anyone here has the phone number of Palin i'll call her so that i can give lilwonders456 an official response! Just kidding Have a nice day and enjoy mylotting

I heard speculation that she could be putting up a seat warmer for Ted Stevens place if she can get it but she has to clear her name from the Ethics dilemma.

She'll probably go for president either next election or the one after. Wouldn't she be an awesome president? [/sarcasm] *Imagines Palin standing at the podium, winking at her audience while giving an important presidential speech.* *Is very glad Obama won.*

They're talking about this very thing on MSNBC right now, discussing if she will be the new "leader" of the Republican Party. Apparently a WSJ poll today of Republicans shows that most of those responding think either Mitt Romney or Mike Huckabee should be the new face of the party with Palin coming in a distant third. (Sorry, I forget the exact percentages right now!) I do think she's go after a national office sometime fairly soon and her own state probably will elect her. There had been some random chatter that she could somehow appoint herself in Senator Ted Stevens' place either if he were to resign or if the Senate votes to expel him, assuming he holds onto his lead and is reelected. I think if she were to announce a bid for the Presidency in the future right now she'd get a lot of laughs, but who knows what the future may bring. One thing most Americans seem to agree on right now is that she's not qualified now, but that doesn't mean she can't learn, I suppose. Annie

I think Sarah will learn and accomplish a lot in whatever she does in politics over the next four years. She will hopefully run as president, and she will get my vote. Go Sarah!!!

Now that what her opposers consider her dirty laundry is out in the open, she's free to pursue whatever she wants. I believe we'll be hearing more from Sarah and I can't wait. People will be thinking about those oil fields in Anwar when they have to take a loan out to fill up their cars. This is going to come back and bite the anti-Palin crowd on the behind.

I am hoping that whatever she decides to do that she keeps it on a state level. According to her interviews I think it could take her a few years just to get caught up to being able to compete on a national level. It seems that a lot of people liked her because of her personality, which in my opinion was about all she had to offer the party. Just my opinion.

She is ambitious and certainly benefitted from all the publicity about being appointed as a potential vice president. She could almost slot into any government position she wanted, except president or vice president, I don't think she is really qualified to do that job, but that is my opinion.

i think she will...she is in happy life to be a new mom.and a little life will be born .the world will be new.cheer up for yourself.to be a mom is a great thing . i am a man ,but i dont to be a dad.and i think tobe a dad or a mom is a good exprience.around you is the kids sounds dad, dad..... mom, mom.....it is a good to hear that.i am very waiting the the moment to come.......

I doubt if she'll run for congress. She's said in past interviews that if she and McCain didn't win, that she'd go back to her family and her life as governor in Alaska. I wouldn't mind seeing her run for President in 2012, but she has said that at this time, she has no desire to do so. I think she'd make a fantastic president. She'd make a better one than Hillary Clinton.
