Wretchard: “If the events have gone nonlinear, then Barack Obama and John McCain may ironically be struggling for the privilege of sitting in the cockpit of an airplane which has become aerodynamically unstable.”

Contrary to your earlier statement, I think this means Sarah Palin *IS* running for the Presidency this year. These next four years are going to be a thrashing-out, regardless of who sits in the Oval Office.

Win or lose, she’s positioned quite nicely for 2012. But she’s going to win this year. And she’s not going to be a shrinking violet to John McCain.
