Holiday Greetings from the Obamas, the Palins, and the RNC

I've received many White House cards in the past and I think one or two RNC cards but the Palin card is one I'm glad I'll not have the pleasure. Not sure what she's thinking just lingering around after resigning her post as Governor of Alaska. For crying out loud she was picked by Senator McCain more or less as a stunt to combat Hillary which almost worked except for Obama chose Biden. Probably would've worked if the Republicans hadn't been so hated from the two Bush terms and of course Obama needed to choose Hillary. Let's face it wartime President's are seldom loved in this country and throw in a few other questionable things and well...love him or hate him history will be his judge.

But perhaps Palin is fine with doing her job distracting the Democrats so they can't go after/attack any of the Republicans serious contenders in 2012. Perhaps this is the role she knows she must play in order for her party to once again gain prominence in 2012. Hey the Democrats are helping this along all by themselves but maybe she thinks she has a shot or perhaps a backroom deal was made to have her be the whipping girl for the next 4 years. Hey not a bad deal either as the Democrats have more than her to worry about, meaning the American public. Besides that she gets to make a few million as well, more money than she would have made being a former Alaska Governor. Also more money than she would have made being Vice President. Let's face it McCain would have probably been a 1 term President anyway due to many factors, age of course being one of them. Throw in the fact Americans can hardly stand any one party being in power that long.

The last time a party held the White House that long was the great Reagan-Bush era then the Bush-Quayle thing. Albeit 41 was only a one termer he certainly deserved another but hey again history is talking here. However loved Clinton was or is (in his own mind) Gore gave it a shot but was denied by the American people. Let's face it 8 years is a long time when your talking about the White House regardless if your party is right (Republicans) most of the time. Anyway going off on a tangent but Palin keep up the good work whatever it may be but please keep your hat out of the ring in 2012. Come primary season it will be a time for serious people. Face it primary season isn't Elk hunting season in Alaska and you thought last time was tough, get ready. But hey please by all means talk about a few issues your concerned about and raise a few dollars for the party but seriously, seriously.
