One thing I haven't heard anyone address, and that is the effect of the Palin nomination on other races around the country: everything from Congress down to state legislative races. If the Republicans stay as energized as they seem to be now, there could be long coattails in all of these races, render the initial predictions of greater Democratic inroads in Congress and in other places obsolete.
The high Republican turnout Palin may bring about could spell national disaster for the Democrats.

The host will attempt to abide by the same rules and only asks that you not provide him with the temptation to do so in return by violating them.
Failure to comply with these rules can result (depending solely on the arbitrary and inscrutable will of the host) in the deletion of offending posts and suspension of posting privileges. Such measures are more likely if you post anonymously.
