She'll be in Alaska, as a governor.

Will she do a Donnie and Marie style variety show every few months? What? :shrug:

1. my sister just told me last night that she is supporting palin
i thought --gag-- i don't know what throws up that block of reason in otherwise pretty sensible well reasoned people. i hope our relationship will remain the way it has been--- devoid of politics in the most! i love her so much and she has so much wisdom most of the time. well i've read this over & over again here on du. i'm sure palin can keep herself in the news if she's that stupid. if i were her i find of what a govenor really does & try to learn as much as she can in the next few years. but considering what she did in 10 weeks ---she lacks self control among other things!!!

3. Get Faux to do a reality show on Bristol's birthing a new baby...
This will showcase "family values." LOL.

5. Stevens resigns...Palin runs for Senate and wins.
I would hope she loses, but this is a likely scenario that has been discussed.

You need to ask that?

7. That's not really the question
She's going to be in the news plenty in the next few months.

The question is, how do they keep her from being recalled or impeached?

9. it seems to me that the media wants her to take Stevens' senate seat
Also, possibly a "book deal"...wonder who would write it.

10. Generate interest... Just like any product.
If stories about her generate "eyes for ads", the MSM will have stories about her.

12. When she's tossed out of office
by the Alaskan electorate, GOPers will place her in a prestigious RW think tank for four years (also known as wingnut finishing school). Afterwards having burnished her creds, she can reappear on the national scene ready to lead the 2012 wingnut whackjob faction of the GOP. Her campaign will go down in flames but provide endless entertainment value for another election season. Sarah Palin, the gift that keeps on giving.

13. A few ideas...

"American Idol" judge (she takes over Paula's place after beating her in a log rolling contest)


She forms a football team of one (herself) and wins every Superbowl for the next four years


While polar bear hunting in Alaska she discovers the snow cave of Osama bin Laden and wipes him out after pistolwhipping him senseless with her very own Bible.


She singlehandedly causes a rise in the ocean levels which ends up drowning all the blue states that voted for Obama


Four years is a long time...imagine what else she could accomplish to keep her in the public eye
