Just a friendly note:
"putting this in God's hands, that the right thing for America will be done at the end of the day on Nov. 4." -PalinWho needs a campaign when you have extreme religion?
Palin and McCain are in Ohio together, a state which no republican nominee has lost and gone on to win the election. For McCain and McCain supporter's sake, Palin can't slip up. At this point it would only take a single slip on Palin's part to destory McCain's campaign altogehter.

Palin is pretty much a publicity stunt at this point. Her entire involvement in this campaign has been mocked and laughed at. I honestly feel sorry for her because it was wrong of john McCain to choose someone so unfit for the position as his running mate. After Obama's victory, and yes he will win, I am certain that the majority of the republican party will blame the nomination of Sarah Palin as the turning point in the election.
The damage is already done with Palin. She has made so many mistakes and had so many slip ups that I honestly don't think one more will hurt the McCain campaign. This does not mean though that she can't do well and help him.
I guess there's one plus the Republicans have at the moment.
Palin has transformed the McCain campaign both positively, for example immediately after her nomination, as well as negatively, demonstrated weeks later once the American public watched her interviews. By this period in the election the damage is done, and I doubt any contribution by Palin, either positive or negative, will have a major affect on this campaign. Surprisingly, however, there is already talk amongst the Republicans about the possibility of Palin running for President in 2021. I personally find this notion ridiculous considering her low popularity ratings, but if anyone wants to read the article you can find it here:

McCain promised he would make people famous who spent tax dollars for useless purposes. He kept true to his promise with Palin. She just is flat out bad. The Republicans reacted and reacting to can be very very bad. Had they picked a Romney or the giv froim Florida or even Joe-Leib they may be in better shape now. They could have also started with a better presidential candidate.
I wouldn't put any credence in the idea of Palin running for president in 2012. The media needs something to talk about to keep busy. She will be the best-known name among Republican women, which will give her some influence within the party, but not much beyond that. If Obama wins big, which he might, Palin will continue to be a physical representation of how embarrassing 2008 has been for the Republicans. If it's a close race, Palin can still walk out with her head high.
