Sure, run Palin for President in 2012 and Obama will have a second term
easy. But I also think there is going to be some fallout among
Republicans over the this last election and that may lead to some new
parties. A lot of us would like to see some election reform. This last
campaign went on far too long doncha think? Let's cut this nonsense
down to a few months. Let's add instant runoff voting and open up to
more parties.
