It would be Palin vs Obama. There are rumors that Biden will step down as VP and Clinton will run as the VP candidate in 2012, but I don't think that is too likely.

speaking of what if questions.. what if somehow she and McCain had won.. would she be stepping down as VP? a lot of unfilled blanks here.. I saw her press conference, it did not answer much.

Nahh what slim chance she had at a viable run for 2012 just evaporated

Actually, this is not far from my thoughts when I heard about this. Strategically, this might be a mistake, though it will allow her to get more national exposure.

This is certainly an unorthodox method of pursuing a GOP nomination.

But it would be very interesting to see her in that position of power.
I'd love to see Clinton as President one day.

As long as Biden does not step down, he will be cannon fodder for the Republicans. Biden is an idiot. Anybody remember Bush-Quayle? Insert Biden for Dan Quayle.

I would have to agree here. She didn't even complete a single full term as governor. She will be viewed as too inexperienced.

Of course, Obama never had a full term as Senator, but... I have a feeling Republicans aren't going to pick Palin after all the nagging about how inexperienced Obama is.

Frankly, I'm not even sure this move is political. If she wanted to get ahead she would have accumulated experience the best she could. Maybe she's just tired of being the left's punching bag?

I think Sarah is making a mistake resigning to early. She should have stay as governor till next year.

I hope she gets her own talk show. I bet she'd outdraw the View all on her own.

I would too. I was a big Clinton supporter last year.

Biden is very like Quayle, except not quite as bright, and not nearly as good a speaker.
