She couldn’t do it herself. If Hillary was the nominee , she would need the black vote to win.
Obama was to have been her VP. If you remember, Hillary was the shoo-in candidate. McCain's job was to run a half-assed campaign and then throw in the towel, as he finally did for Obama (which is why Palin annoyed him so much by actually trying to win the election).
The primary was supposed to be a faux-battle leading up to her annointing. Then during one debate between her and Edwards and Obama, Edwards turned to her and said "Now, Hillary..." and went on to expose the actual fallacy of her position, and Obama chimed in with him. It was the turning point - the very tone of how she was addressed made her raise her eyebrows, and in a split-second she knew she was betrayed. No one ever addressed her so cavalierly, so casually, let alone actually attacked her for real. Then the battle was engaged, and she got kicked to the curb just like she's kicked so many others to the curb - and rendered invisible the way she's so proud of having done to others for so very long.
Since then she's been biding her time. She's not someone who forgives traitors - to the contrary, she makes examples out of them. And now they stole her healthcare bill and claimed it as their own! LOL - she's steaming mad. We haven't heard the last of her by a long shot!
Obama helped her payoff her campaign debts with a little something extra in the bank. She still has 8 full-time campaign staffers working for her. The big rap against her was she didn’t have any foreign policy experience...now that she’s added Secretary of State to her resume.
You’re right she was thrown under the bus...she wouldn’t even resign her Senate seat until she was actually confirmed by the Senate. She’s following the age old political mantra...Keep your friends close, keep your enemies closer.

Interesting....Friends call me a nut job when I share that theory.....I think McCain was thrown for a loop when he saw the party support for Palin......
I doubt she would agree or we wouldn’t see her on the campaign trail with him now....
