Palin's future

She's probably a lovely woman in some contexts. But if the GOP makes even a slight move to bring her out of Alaska again in 2012, I think it'll be a mistake. There should be some kind of basic intellectual requirement to this process... like knowing what the hell Africa is, for starters.

Update:McQ seems to think that Palin "is going to be around in Republican circles for a long time," and that she just needs to let people see the real her, free from the McCain handlers. It's possible that this could change her image enough to make her a viable 2012 candidate, but I think it's a pretty damned steep hill to change the mind of the American public that much. Quayle is forever a moron. Dole and McCain are forever "old guys". And while I'm sure sure Palin is much more intelligent than she has been portrayed, I think she'll always come across as an anti-intellectual, in the bad way.

Anyway, I've left some comments on the matter over there. Thought you might like to know.
