Think about it. If Obama loses, he has said he will not run again (scoff). This means Hillary is almost guaranteed the Democratic nomination in 2012. McCain, being old and not very knowledgeable on the specifics of issues, will probably be looked at in 2012 as just a figurehead President with his aides and Vice President doing the real work in the administration (or at least thats how Republicans will spin it if Mccain isn't popular). This will mean Palin has a chance to be the Republican nomination in 2012 if she wants it, and if (AND ONLY IF) Mccain's age hinders his ability to serve a second 4-year term (he would be 81 by 2016).
