Sarah Palin's resignation wasn't merely a slightly shocking political development on a Friday afternoon (truly the time when slightly shocking political developments usually occur, as politicians attempt to bury more pertinent news). It was the end of my dreams.
The Republican Party cannot possibly still be considering this woman for anything now, right? Now that she voluntarily left her office a year and a half before she had to run for second term because she didn't want to be a lame duck during that year and a half even though running again technically meant she wouldn't be a lame duck, she has to be done, professionally and politically. There is no conceivable way that anybody at the national level would envision her for anything, anymore.
Sadly though, this means the death of my dream. Nothing entertained me more than listening to Republicans gnash their teeth about beating Obama in 2012 by responding, "Yeah, and with that Palin-Jindal dream ticket, how can you lose?"
I hate losing a good retort to reality.
What's Left Unsaid: I ought to note though that there are still Republiservative bloggers who are touting her move as strategically brilliant preparation for her ascension to the White House in 2012. This includes noted moron
Bill Kristol. He is also, incidentally, an idiot.
