Normally I don't pay too much attention to international politics, but this was one of the potential things that I wasn't looking forward to in 2012 - And I'm glad that's been averted it seems. Having someone as idiotic as her running one of the most powerful nations in the world would have been... Well, probably worse than when Bush was in power. Now lets hope this decision stays permanent - And that someone worse isn't in the line-up for the US 2012 elections.
This was obvious from the beginning. All she cares about is getting attention and making money from that attention. She never really wanted political power, otherwise she wouldn't have quit as governor.
I'm actually disappointed. She's popular enough that she might have been nominated. And then Obama would have crushed her.

Who gives a damn about the US elections though? You trade one bumbling fool for another, the only difference is you don't have any experience of the mistakes the new one might make.
That being said...Thatcher was in power for what seemed an eternity.

Palin just doesn't (and never will) have the perspicacity for the Presidential office; though we've had some prtty good mental low-rollers in there, haven't we?

I'd just like to announce that I too, will not be running for President of the United States.
Alcar...
You will be Running For Fun though, right?
