Palin Setting the Stage for 2012

Win or lose, Sarah Palin plans to be a factor in the 2012 race:

Gov. Sarah Palin suggested that if the Republican ticket is defeated on Tuesday she expects to be a player in the next election four years from now, saying "I'm not doing this for naught."

Sarah Palin tells ABC News' Elizabeth Vargas that she will be a player in 2012, that she's "not doing this for naught."

In an interview with ABC News' Elizabeth Vargas, the Republican vice-presidential nominee was asked about 2012, whether she was discouraged by the daily attacks on the campaign trail, and would instead pack it in and return to her home state of Alaska.

"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, that would bring this whole … I'm not doing this for naught," Palin said.

Palin will be a player, that's for sure. If McCain loses, Palin becomes the frontrunner for the nomination right off the bat. If McCain wins, what are the odds he will be able to go for a second term? He'll be 76, and although longevity seems to run in his family (his mom is a very spry 96), he may not be able or willing to go for another term. That also makes Palin the frontrunner, and with 4 years of VP experience, many of the knocks on experience and knowledge she endured in this campaign will be null and void.

We could be looking at a Sarah vs. Hillary election.

Just to show you how tough it has been for Palin in the mainstream media, these graphics were included in yesterday's Special Report in which they analyzed Palin's coverage on ABC, NBC and CBS:
None of the evening news shows ran a single positive story on Palin. And here's how she was portrayed:
I think those numbers will change dramatically in four years.

Finally, Greg Gutfield assures Palin that she should be proud to make use of her good looks:

The fact is, physical attraction is a potent weapon — a superpower, if you will, like seeing through walls and dresses. So if you have it, why not use it?

Seriously, if Palin's good looks were able to mesmerize McCain into choosing her, imagine what she can do to Ahmadinejad, who only sees hot chicks when he orders porn at hotels near the U.N. If her shapeliness can achieve what Stingers cannot, I say hooray.

And look, aren't the Democrats making the same case for Obama — that he's so yummy, he can sit down with just about anyone, without preconditions and convince them through his sheer adorability that the U.S. is now 200 percent more cuddly?

The only difference? Sarah's got two boobs. With Biden, Obama's only got one.

Physical appearance is one category where she absolutely dominates Hillary Clinton.
