They've only noticed this now?
No, I'm sure they were aware of this before. Palin was useful to Republicans, but now they really don't want her to run for president, as she has a shot of getting the nomination but very little chance of her winning.
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, pandas, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

It'll only be two years out pretty soon, it's going to be time to start seeing some candidates starting to emerge. Right now I really have no idea who's the Republicans will be running.
Repub primary candidates: Pawlenty, Romney, Palin, and more that I can't think of offhand.
I know a few of the people interested, but it's kind of hard seeing people getting excited about Pawlenty or Romney. It seems like somebody else should emerge.
Haley Barbour's name gets tossed around.
Mayor Bloomberg has been making speeches in New Hampshire; I'm confused why NH would matter if he's planning to run as an Independent, though.
imploded
pretty much
I dropped off 3 large bags at the thrift store, went to GCT to get mac, came home, mailed 12 packages, got a new charger for my BBerry, and took a call from the new admin at work. Now I am logged in at work, about to call her back to do some training. I managed to get in some muffins to bake and some naan to warm up ( have eaten the naan) since the movers failed to pack the stuff in the broiler drawer. At some point I am going to need to eat more than bread though.

Unless someone emerges from left field, I think it'll be like 2008, when McCain got the nom and everyone went "meh," at least until he plucked Sister Sarah out of obscurity.

Such as burritos.
