  1. I can imagine Palin sticking around in the news for a dozen years. If McCain loses the election, Palin will be in the perfect position to revitalize the Alaska Independence Party. Back in power (they’ve had the governorship before) the AIP goofballs make an increasingly annoying amount of noise about secession. Palin, figuring that if she can’t become The President, can at least become A president, and encourages her AIP constituency by taking control of vital infrastructure. In late December of 2019, Palin declares independence. By early January of 2020, the 2nd War Between The States is over, and this time, the South is victorious.

    (Palin spends the following decade happily, pleased to be working as the prison librarian, getting perks from the warden whenever she culls another book from the shelves.)

  3. Actually, I was originally just going to ask why you postulated a dozen years, and not sixteen? One term for McCain, and two Palin administrations? Two terms for McCain, and then a George H. W. Bush-like single term for Palin? Four years in the wilderness after McCain loses, and then two failed attempts at the presidency? Aha!

    Palin is not a member of the AIP.

  6. Karl,

    Not a problem. The AIP would be thrilled to have her, even if she didn’t agree with their goals, as evidenced by the precedent of Gov. Walter Hickel. You can see in the following link how the AIP was once led by someone who didn’t even share their goals:

    If you listen to Palin speak to Alaskans after her selection as the Republican VP nominee, you can hear an Alaska boosterism that seems to go well beyond the norm in a national campaign, but moreover, you can hear a boosterism that would play very well with AIP members.

  8. This is brilliant:
