Sarah Palin and Barack Obama are both pondering futures they don’t want to anticipate? John McCain wants to make the race about another professor (even if he still has Bill Ayers on his mind)? Plenty of Democratic senators and governors will say nice things about Obama on camera? Joe Biden is suddenly boring ? Even Borat wants us not to vote (but not really -- and not even for Bob Barr?)?

Palin: Not Willing to Give Up
PoliGazette —
Interviewed by ABC News Wednesday, Governor Sarah Palin said she was “not in it for naught,” and that she would try to play a lead role in the Republican Party after November 4, even if she and Senator John McCain lose the presidential election.
Although most other members of the media tried to spin Palin’s words in a way that would indicate that she was already working towards 2012, believing she and McCain will lose this year, Palin’s own words make clear that her statement was one of defiance, not of ambition.

McCain Likens Palin to Bill Clinton John McCain defended his running mate, Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin (R), from criticism by comparing her to the last small-state governor to reach the Oval Office, Bill Clinton. McCain was asked about Palin on ABC on Friday, a day after his foreign policy adviser, former Secretary of State Lawrence Eagleburger, said that she wasn't yet ready to become commander-in-chief. McCain said that Palin had the "qualifications of leadership." "And I would remind you again there was an obscure governor of a small state called Arkansas that everybody said wasn't qualified," he added, referring to Clinton. "Well, I didn't ...
