It will also be interesting to see if Pawlenty or Jindal follow the Clinton path, since they got some national exposure this time around on the VP short list. Interesting WSJ clip on the debates: "While coverage of the debate spotlighted how Mr. McCain may have helped or hurt his cause, Mr. Obama may have benefitted from being the contestant who didn't make waves. "If Barack Obama is elected president 20 days from now, his performance at all three of these debates is gonna have a lot to do with the reason," historian Michael Beschloss said after the debate on PBS. "You go back to John Kennedy in 1960, Jimmy Carter in '76, Bill Clinton in 1992, these were candidates who were not very well known to the American people at the beginning. They were challenging people who were the candidate of the party that owned the White House. And they used these debates, one by one, to basically let the American people feel comfortable with them and the idea of them as president."

John; Romney is such a boring speaker and she is all lightning. She might actually do well. At least in the public mind. Oh man I disagree. I'm with Dale on this one, I think her best chance of doing anything is grabbing an Alaskan Senate seat. But as far as the nation stage I think she is way too polarizing to ever be an effective candidate. I think she gets pegged with the fall of McCains campaign - assuming he is unsuccessful. Look how far she has fallen in barely over 6 weeks. She has tasted the fans though and I think she has some hard times ahead. She will have to return to Juneau and start raising that new baby - I don't think that will go well for her? steve

Sarah will always have a job on Saturday Night Live. That program is just suited to her.
