She's A Distance Runner

In a way, you have to admire John McCain. He is destroying himself in the name of the cause. At this point he has no real friends or admirers. There will be no good outcome and then he'll die. Cindy will move on. Whatever you think of him, whatever his motives, the man has guts.

Sarah Palin is another animal altogether. She is creating a viable niche brand. When this campaign is over, she will emerge as a messianic leader for a significant minority of the American public. She will perfect her skills with the press. She'll get even better with her public, once she's out on her own. They will donate money to her NoPro. They will pay to meet her in large halls. They will buy the books ghost written for her, by the millions. She can have her own syndicated radio show. The coffee mug sales alone, will pay off the house in Wasilla. Fox news will hire her. The televangelist community will carry her water. Whether she stays in the Republican party or starts her own movement, she will be a political power broker and cultural touchstone, for the foreseeable future. She'll never be hungry again. Not her, not Todd, not darling little Triggy. Praise Jesus.

Make a plan for her! Oh Lord! Make a plan!
