Well, that’s that, then. At least there was enough money left over in the GOP war chest for Sarah Palin to use the McCain campaign jet to fly back to Alaska. She got a warm welcome back in Alaska, with many of the crowd gathered at the Ted Stevens Convicted and Awaiting Sentencing Anchorage International Airport chanting “2012″ and wearing “Palin 2012″ t-shirts, urging Palin to run for president in four years.
Thankfully, we will have to wait a bit for that, as the next big thing for Governor Palin will be the transformation into Grandma Palin. I am sure she will be preoccupied with that, and running Alaska in a mavericky way, putting the boot into big oil and environmentalists and shooting wolves from helicopters and such…
On the upside, four years may just be enough time for Palin to brush up on a few things that caused her and the GOP some trouble during this year’s campaigning, like:
- African geography;
- naming the countries in NAFTA;
- naming the countries in North America;
- understanding the Bush doctrine;
- remembering to campaign wearing Republican accessories;
- getting a clear understanding of the roles of president and vice-president;
- getting to know French president Nicolas Sarkozy better;
- figuring out where Afghanistan is located;
- getting a better telescope to see Prime Minister Putin of Russia rearing his head in U.S. airspace;
- interview preparation;
- getting a handle on impulse shopping, to name a few.
Perhaps it will be Senator Palin in four years….who knows? For all the gaffes, Palin has accomplished one thing during this campaign: we now know where Alaska is…

If Palin runs for President in 2012, at least she has name recognition going for her… but that may not work in her favor
