And Cindy McCain, yes she’s a scary one isn’t she, cadaverous old harridan that she is.

As for 2012, she’s apparently telling people she *can’t possibly* imagine what she’ll be doing so far into the future as four years, that she’s not yet thinking about the president’s spot. What concerns me about her running is the possibility of a role reversal from this election. So many democrats and independents got fed up with Bush that voter turnout was at a record high, just so the more liberal lot of us could vote against the Republicans. We ate up all that “change, progress, hope” stuff. What if, then, McCain’s disappointed followers and conservative independents realize that their turnout wasn’t enough, so they do an extra good job of getting their fellow conservatives to register and vote in 2012? Would Palin stand a good chance? And hell, now that you mention Blair bringing his party to the right, what if Obama turns out to be a closet conservative or communist by the end of his four years, and Palin uses it against him while running? Anything’s possible in this country.

China, do you really think it’s a bad thing if Palin runs in 2012? I am not sure. I think she is so Special Needs that she might end up forcing way too many people over to the Dems, particularly against a fairly centrist candidate like Obama. Blair shifted the Labour Party so far to the right that the Tories were marginalised for years because the only way to maintain their identity and stay to the right of Blair was to become totally barmy. Cameron has realised that right and left mean nothing, and simply spouts the anodyne platitudes du jour, which may give him the edge over Brown who is an actual, serious politician.

If the Republicans get behind a potential Palin ticket, which many of them may want to, then they run a considerable risk of opening up far too much ground in the centre for Obama to claim, and thus may end up marginalising themselves as well. Then again, this is America we’re talking about.

If only the South had won the civil war… Bye bye, rednecks!

*But you never know*.

*No, it is bollocks really. Sorry.

However, given the alternative, I’m happy to accept your average slippery politician as at least that’s a known quanitity.

It’s a relief to be back on familiar territory away from the control of the shadowy, mercenary oil companies and arms dealers that were behind the Bush administration.

By the way, anyone watching Fox (hell, if you were) notice that during McCain’s speech, when he tried to encourage his followers to support Obama and then hush down the booing that followed, the camera closed in on Palin, smiling in support of the booers? I’ve never been more proud to vote and see a politician win than when I saw the look on that moose-killing bitch’s face.
