Bwhahahahah!!!!!

Statements such as these are why I love politics:

"Asked about 2012, whether she was discouraged by daily attacks on the campaign trail and whether she would return home to Alaska, the Republican vice presidential nominee signaled that she expects to be a player in the next presidential election cycle.
"I think that, if I were to give up and wave a white flag of surrender against some of the political shots that we've taken ... I'm not doing this for naught," Palin told ABC News in a taped interview airing on Thursday."

Let's get something straight - if McCain loses on Tuesday, Palin will return to relative obscurity and likely lose her governor's seat when it comes up for grabs. She will disappear into a quaint history book and only return to newspapers for the marriage of a child, a divorce and an obituary.

If he wins, fair enough. She gets an office in the White House and pretty much a guaranteed shot at running for the presidency if McCain isn't booted out after a first term. And, of course, she's got a great shot at being president, since McCain is knock, knock, knocking on heaven's door.

But things aren't looking good for McCain right now, and talking about your future political dreams days away from Nov. 4 doesn't help. We've all read the stories about Palin going rogue. Ya think they would have gotten someone to talk to her about that by now.
