What power would Palin have to clean up anything in Washington? She'd only be a vice-president, and my initial feeling is that once McCain wins office, if that were to happen, Palin would be shuttled aside like so much office furniture so that the real movers and shakers could then make policy and divide the spoils. Remember - there is pretty strong tension between McCain and the evangelicals. Right now, Palin gave the the evangelicals a reason to need McCain, and McCain, to win the election needs the evangelicals. If Palin were to try to clean any of the corruption up, it would just ruin the Republican spoils system. No sir. A good line, but ain't gonna happen. - A.
