Five years from now is Palin in politics or show business?

[soupkitchen]

I don't really she a future for her in politics, but am sure the networks will throw tons of money at her to host some kind of talk show or preside over one of those unreality based reality shows, along the lines of "Chillen with the Palins."
And maybe that's all she wanted from the beginning, greater celebrity.

[Desertrose]

1. Neither...she'll be a distant memory....

if that.

[GDAEx2]

2. I think she has major

Reality Show potential!

:puke:

[Buck Laser]

3. Probably managing a 7-11 in Anchorage...

[DevonRex]

4. I'm hoping she's holding out on some Alaskan island that has

seceded from the Union and that nobody gives a shit.

[Juan_de_la_Dem]

5. Fox News Analist

[Ikonoklast]

10. I see what you did there.

:P

[KSDiva]

32. LOL @ spelling, but I agree. Faux News.

I actually think she'd be good at it. :shrug:

[camera obscura]

6. I think she'll try for politics

Although people will blame her for the GOP's loss, the establishment will continue to soothe her ego and tell her she's a star that just shoen before her time. Palin's ambitions won't stop until she's failed again had her inadequacies beaten into her. Think Lieberman in 2004.

However, Republicans are very good at taking care of their own. (Gordon Liddy, Oliver North, etc.) When she comes around she'll have a cozy career as a pundit on Fox.

7. My guess is five years from now

she'll finally have gotten caught in one of her many scams, been convicted and be doing time somewhere.

[WeDidIt]

8. They will do a reality show around her.

Seriously, it'll be like the Gene Simmons thing.

[TheCoxwain]

9. She'll be on Larry Flint's Mature Category Payroll

[helderheid]

11. She'll be on Faux.

[tularetom]

12. Pole Dancing at the Frozen Kitty in Anchorage

[Lucky 13]

30. The actual real name of the stripbar in Anchorage is WORSE....

The Great Alaskan Bush Company. Seriously.

You want to see some classy ladies? Try a strip club in Anchorage, Alaska. :scared:

[thereismore]

13. She will still have her dream house built on the shore of a lake in Wasilla. nt

[CK_John]

14. Probably getting ready for her State of the Union message to Congress. n/t

[Jade Fox]

15. She'll go the way of Dan Quayle.....

In politics there is no recovery from becoming a national joke.

[Metta]

16. Professional wrestling.

or some such.

[Ganja Ninja]

17. Neither.

Five years from now she's doing an occasional blog or TV appearance for some RW evangelical church and not even living in Alaska. She'll most likely wash out of politics once the press gets into her doings in Alaska.

[L. Coyote]

18. Fox Anchorage Anchor covering the pipeline bancruptcy she spawned!

[blue_onyx]

19. Both...she'll probably be at Fox News

[Arrowhead2k1]

20. Hopefully raising the rest of her goddamn kids.

The ones that aren't forced into early marriage.

[Overseas]

21. "Governor Barracuda" on the E! channel, premiers January 17th.

That's what I predict. Let's follow the Governor, and her colorful secessionist family as they live their lives in the wild state of Alaska.

[JohnMcCant2008]

22. is "jail" a choice? nt

[RaleighNCDUer]

23. She'll be working for Shell Oil.

Still.

Or would it be Exxon?

[Frances]

24. It seems that Palin is all about her looks

Unfortunately for her, as she ages, the men she's attracting now won't be interested in her

[RevolutionStartsNow]

25. Dancing with the Stars nt

[liberal N proud]

26. Snow Business

She and her clan can go back to the igloo

[Lucky 13]

27. Gone the way of Dan Quayle and Gen Stockwell

Not even Alaska wants her anymore. Good riddance.

[Uzybone]

33. I agree

wherever Quayle is; thats where she will be.

[unpossibles]

28. for the right wing, is there a difference? nt

[Two Sheds]

29. Read the New Yorker article about her selection...

we have a thread about it somewhere on this board.

The point being that she will stay in politics. Alaska is conservative enough for her to stay in its politics. And if you read the article in the NYer, you'll see she has neocons like Bill Kristol in love with her. They'll try their own narrative of this election. It will go something like this: Palin won the election for McCain, then the economy tanked and McCain's liberalism finished him with the GOP base. It's the old lie: we didn't lose b/c we were too conservative, we lost because we were not conservative enough

By Xmas 2010, there will be a nice big ghostwritten autobiography of Palin on the shelves. It will focus on her faith (for the base) and her "co-author" will be Kristol or some other neocon.

I think she's boxed in, though. She'll still be joke in 2012 and she'll have to run against a brilliant politician and campaigner who will have the additional advantage of being an incumbent POTUS. If she waits for 2016, she'll be fighting against a large field whose frontrunner and runaway money raising winner will be Jeb Bush.

[Johonny]

31. I think she'll run for the senate

Unless the Alaska republicans sink her by impeaching her.

[jpljr77]

34. Straight to FoxNews, no passing Go or anything. nt

35. Show business? What THAT voice?????

Hell to the no!
