Palin Needs To think About Her OWN Future For Once -- Not McCain's
Governor Sarah Palin should start thinking about her own future instead of Senator John McCain's.
It appears from the polls that McCain will lose in November. Sarah Palin, depending on how she runs her side of this campaign could hurt or help her own future plans politically.
If Sarah plans on staying in politics and possibly running for President one day (maybe in 2012), she'd best be 'cooling it' in this campaign.
If she is known for lying and attacking her opponent with personal character attacks -- she may be ignored in 2012.
When the McCain camp asks her to attack, attack and attack (lie, lie and lie) -- she should stop and think for a moment. John McCain won't be able run for office again after this campaign -- she on the other hand -- might want to.
She should learn to say NO to McCain.
She should think about just how 'low' she wants to get in this campaign. Everything she does now will be recorded and on YouTube.
Does she really want to ruin her own future chances for John McCain's chance?

If she is stupid enough to go down in flames with John McCain, a man who is at the end of his career and ruin any future she might have in her party, well that just proves she is to stupid to be VP. With just a little bit of improvement, she could have been the next Jean Schmidt, (R-OH), who called decorated former Marine, Rep. John Murtha (D-PA), a coward.

I sincerely think she's ruining any future chances she might have had (before the character assassinations) for running for the Presidency in 2012.

Palin should think OF HER COUNTRY BEFORE HERSELF for a change and get her ass back to Alaska and answer for her absues there, and accept the consequences of her "All that matters is getting and keeping the job" bimboism and criminal abuses of power.
McSelf-Destructive has set out on a path that will destroy him spectacularly. And Palin is gleefully jumping onto the same crashing jet with him. Let his and her "judgment" determine their futures.

Who cares if she ruins her political future? Republicans?

Palin has become a punch line to a bad joke. Any hope she had of a political career will die with McCain.

This issue has been bothering me ever since the primaries. Can we PLEASE stop talking about people who are planning a 2012 run? Jesus Christ!! Hillary Clinton tried to run for the presidency with her Iraq vote and it bit her square in the ass because of one thing--NO ONE CAN PREDICT THE FUTURE!
Of course Sarah Palin is big news now, but everything is going to be different four years from now, so I really don't care about 2012.
The same goes for the Clintons. If they want to give 2012 a shot, fine, but nothing they do now will guarantee a positive outcome.
Why not focus on the issues that are currently driving our lives because they will change how we as a nation are feeling in four years. It is totally pointless to talk about 2012 and I am sick of reading about it.
