Now that the campaign is over, what do you think Sarah Palin will do next?

No one can time the market or know with any certainty what's going to happen, but I do think capital gains will be going up next year...so if there are people that have realized a profit, they may be pulling their money before 2009.


I am not hopeful that Obama will govern from the center. It's not who he said he was, it's not what his past indicates that he is, and I am very fearful for our country.

The last time I looked, the occupant of the Oval Office was one George W. ("Dumbya") Bush. AND the Democratic majority in the House and Senate is not a super-majority (veto/filibuster proof), meaning that legislation cannot be passed by them without the cooperation of the president and/or Congressional Republicans. Let's have that volley about the market drop back in the proper quarters, shall we?

No, the economy won't bounce right back to the 12,000 mark right away--the reasoning is specious since it presumes that something which has been damaged or destroyed can be rebuilt immediately. Break a glass Christmas ornament and tell me if you repaired it as quickly as it shattered and how pristine it looks after the glue dries.

Why the tangent on my siggy in this thread?

BTW, I'm not a Democrat. Am a registered independent who is not bounden to support any party or person doing a shoddy job of governing. I'll be watching the actions of the new administration and critiquing them actively when they start acting like power-flown ideologues or fools instead of pragmatists.

Maybe she'll figure out which countries belong to NAFTA? OR THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A CONTINENT AND A COUNTY....

Now, I think Fox News might be reporting some sour grapes of some pretty bitter McCain staffers but... I tend to believe there's at least a grain of truth here, and... Dear God. Seriously? Seriously?! Africa. NOT. A. COUNTRY. First graders should know this. If, God forbid, McCain's health should take a turn for the worse in the next four years -- no matter how sub-par Obama might turn out to be -- I'll still be very, very grateful she's not near the West Wing.

OMG did we make the right choice. Here are a few of the reasons the McCain folks were calling here a whack job, a diva and a rogue. She is so bad she inspires admissions against interest from the Fox Republican Propaganda Media which never says anything bad against Republicans, even when it doesn't matter anymore like now:

"As Fox News's Carl Cameron reported Wednesday, Palin allegedly thought Africa was a continent -- not a country -- and didn't know which countries were a party to the North American Free Trade Agreement. (That would be the US, Mexico and Canada.)

Cameron's report joins negative portrayals of Palin in Newsweek and the New York Times, which on Thursday revealed that Palin had not prepared for her disastrous interview with CBS's Katie Couric and did not inform McCain officials that she had scheduled an interview with two Canadian pranksters posing as French President Nicolas Sarkozy.

The Fox reporter diplomatically noted that McCain aides were concerned about Palin's lack of "knowledgability," as Cameron diplomatically put it.

Conservative bloggers -- who may be Palin's only remaining defenders -- are furious at McCain aides' leaks about her. Michelle Malkin calls them "classless cowards" suffering from "Palin Derangement Syndrom," and RedState has launched "operation leper" to track down the aides who are dishing the dirt. "
