"I have no desire to be president of the United States. Zero desire. I don't think that I would be electable."He added: "And there are far too many people that are far smarter than me to be President." http://www.latimes.com/news/nationwo...094475.storyNo, I just don't take Sarah Palin or Glenn Beck that seriously. Palin is sort of like a Preston Manning, ultimately influential I suppose but mostly helpful to the Liberals/Democrats in splitting the right wing vote just as one might think the NDP are ultimately harmful to the Liberals on the opposite side.Nevertheless, Palin/Beck certainly do highlight there is a disaffected/frustrated part of the electorate which seems to have a primarily religious focus.

You're hopefully right but I can't forget that this is a country that re-elected Bush and things have gotten more hysterical in the Excited States of America, with this economic downturn.
