Do you think Sarah Palin is the future of the Republican Party?

[#1UT]

I dont think she will be.

Look at the Republican Party and all of their major Pres. or VP candidates throughout their history.

She will not make it through a Republican Primary with the likes of snakes like Romney, Guiliani, Huckabee, and any of the other far right wing of the republican party. They are going to destroy her credibility and attack her experience in ways that Obama and the democrats would not.

Mccain's people are already calling her a diva and a nut job before the race is even over!

There is a reason that there is not very much diversity within the Republican Party and she will find out soon.

Sadly, yes. All there are left are the nutcases. It is the beginning of the end for the GOP unless they can get it together after this fiasco.

Rofl!

[Hippopotanus]

I hope she is! That would mean a bright future for the Democratic Party!

[lynnem]

I'd hate to see a religious right wing nut as the leader of that party. :: shudder ::

[roses]

She is a typical republican! I hope she is part of the future; it would be a guarantee dem win.

[andmore63]

Nope her days are numbered.

[SeanS]

God i hope so! The longer she is around the longer the dem's will have control of the white house!

It all depends on how well Obama does in the next four years. Paradoxically enough, if he does well, Palin has a shot in being the GOP nominee in 2012, because by then most of the moderate conservatives will be supporting Obama instead. On the other hand, if Obama does poorly, thus energizing the larger GOP base, it could be a bloodbath between candidates of a wider spectrum of conservative thought, from fiscal libertarians to social conservatives. Either Palin will have a poor chance of winning, or there could actually be a breakup of the Republican party, and she'll head the extreme far right faction. There is absolutely no question that she represents the far right, religious, insular faction, the "pro-Americans" as she has repeatedly called her faithful.
