She could conceivably win the nomination, if the "Please, God, Anyone But Her" vote is totally fractured, but she's poison for a countrywide election.
This is my thinking too.
Zoe: Is there any way I'm gonna get out of this with honor and dignity? Wash: You're pretty much down to ritual suicide, lambie-toes.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

A lot of people are out of work and scared. And if the Republicans had had a majority going in to this election
I think there is also the healthcare bill which is unpopular, the deficit which Obama hasn't addressed, TARP, the auto bailouts, and Fox hammering away every day. A whole lot of factors working against them.

She could conceivably win the nomination
I think she could easily win the nomination if the Repubs don't put up any good candidates. I guess today also kicks off the 2012 presidential election.

My company has official muster points for employees to gather in case of a fire (or fire drill). EVERY SINGLE ONE is either in front of or across the street from a pub.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
SIGH. My team at my old job used to hold impromptu staff "meetings" at the nearest heated and/or AC'd public place to our floor's designated meeting point. It was relaxed, pleasant, reasonably informative and used up work time that we'd have otherwise lost.

Ha! This is seriously the e-mail my mom just sent me --
Subject: the zombies have taken over the world
Don't watch your TV unless you already have but the world has gone mad. Everyone I voted for lost and the zombies have taken control.
I get my left-wingery from her, obviously.
(I told her that no, the zombies have NOT taken over, because zombies WANT brains, and last night proved that the winners were NOT looking for brains.)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Huh -- I haven't had a fire drill at all here at this job, and I've been here almost 6 months. We used to have some kind of drill monthly at my last job, I'm pretty sure. But mostly we didn't have to go outside, just gather in the elevator lobby to learn about what to do in case of fire/non-fire emergency/etc.

Sane Republicans have no more love for Palin than you, Teppy. Unless someone out of left field--or, I guess, right field--shows up, the Repubs biggest names for president are Palin and Mitt Romney. Romney cannot win because too many people think he's a flip-flopper, and the rest go "Mormon? Of the devil!" No hard-core evangelical will vote for a Mormon, despite the glowing visions that hold in Utah. Mormons really don't understand how much the rest of the right-wing world dislike them.
The next two years are going to be bad, but the Tea Partiers are now sitting at a poker table when Call has been declared. It's time to actually come up with specifics and see what they can accomplish in the real world. Obama's Ship of Change bashed up against the rocks of reality, the Tea Partiers are about to see that same shipwreck coming.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil
the deficit which Obama hasn't addressed, TARP, the auto bailouts
The sad thing is that these three points are actually pluses for the Dems--the deficit is actually lower than it was, TARP was a success according to all nonpartisan economists, and both it and the auto bailouts not only did what they were supposed to do, but the money is either now being or has already been paid back, with interest.
