I think it is a very big mistake by the right to allow the impression that they could seriously consider Palin et. al to run a presidency. They should let her do damage by vomitting her usual poison, but make it clear in time that she is nothing the Republicans could ever consider to nominate for candidacy. With her they have no chance in the final race.

Schwarzenegger says Obama likely to get re-elected

Well, if it were Palin vs. Obama, you'd think it would be Obama, as he's so clearly more intelligent and educated. Of course, in the United States it's possible to be TOO smart and educated for some people. Frequently, the clearly stupid/uneducated will win in an election. Is there ANY other industrialized country where this sort of thing happens?
