Sully's Moose-ion Improbable

Sully on Sarah Palin getting into the race as an independent:

The obvious problem is that she would all but guarantee the re-election of Barack Obama. Is she delusional and narcissistic enough to plow onward regardless?

You betcha!

Sarah Palin yesterday:

Sarah Palin, ending months of speculation, said Wednesday she will not run for president, either as a Republican or third-party candidate.

One, Sully's not exactly the most objective observer of all things Trig Sarah Palin.  Two, running as an independent would be way too much work.  If you ever thought Half Term here was going to put in the long hours needed to do that, you're nuts and still are.  Three, Sully's right about her guaranteeing an Obama win, meaning the Powers That Be in the GOP money pit must have already made it clear to her that they would have spend tens of millions to crush her like a tin can at the bottom of the Marianas Trench.  Four, she's still playing this grift as long as she can.  It required her to actually do a grand total of nothing and she gets attention.  That's all she ever needed. (Well, that and the money from the rubes.) And five, even Republicans don't want her to run.

Sarah Palin is egomaniacal and bull-headed.  But she's not stupid.  She's stayed out this long as I said she would...but hey, the veep slot will be open.  Voila.  Grift 2.0.

As for Andrew Sullivan, well, there's a reason he was never in the bloglist, folks.
