She can no longer benefit, as she did during the Biden debate, from low expectations. She'd probably get in the room with Obama and run screaming a la Birth of a Nation.

She is a lot more likable when she's just being herself and maybe wouldn't be quite so bad as a talk show host (as long as we didn't have to hear too many of her hairbrained political ideas).

Originally Posted By Mr X I agree, ec, but I don't think the Republicans are that stupid by and large. This talk of 2012 is just a bunch of blather at the moment, historically loser VP hopefuls do NOT amount to anything anyway, and this particular one has already been turned into a joke by most. I DO think she could become an extremely successful Fox news commentator though, and I sure do hope THAT happens cause I could use the laughs.
