Because the media is insistant on her running for the 2012 GOP nomination. I highly doubt it because of her family sitution a few years from now. I could see her running again in 2016 or 2020 but not before.

Maybe she'll learn that Africa's a continent by then.

After someone on Sarah Palin's staff informed her that Africa was a continent, she then asked, "Oh, you mean like it needs Depend underwear?"

Under the heading way too little, way too late.

"I regret saying some things I shouldn't have said," Bush told CNN's Heidi Collins when asked to reflect on his regrets over his two terms as president. "Like 'dead or alive' and 'bring 'em on.' My wife reminded me that, hey, as president of the United States, be careful what you say.

Okay, seriously, there hasn't been a day where there hasn't been a Palin story near the top of every major site. Damn "liberal media", could you please get a clue and realize she's no longer a story?

The whole Africa is not a continent thing is now a proven hoax.

Funny how SO many stories about Palin are immediately assumed to be true. I realize Palin isn't a story any longer, but I do think it is necessary - required, I might suggest - to retract things that were stated about her that are proven false.

Scaeagles, so far as I know the only hoax aspect of the story (thus far) is when MSNBC was duped into reporting the name of the supposed source behind the Africa story. They quickly did an on-air correction. Fox was the outlet that broke the original story, and I've yet to see any retraction from them.

Yes, I'd like to hear retractions of incorrect information. Other than that, though, I'm not really interested. She doesn't have any idea where she's planning to go now, other than returning to her governorship, so there's not really a story. If and when she decides to run for something else, then ok.

Speaking of her political future, absentee ballots are being counted in Alaska...and Ted Stevens has lost his lead. Challenger, Anchorage Mayor Mark Begich, now has a slim 814 vote lead at last report.
