Had you gone back one more election, to find the 1948 VP loser, you would have found Earl Warren whose presidential ambitions were also frustrated though he did find subsequent employment elsewhere.

It’s always fun to guess who’ll be politically active four years in the future. But it’s also nearly impossible. There was a time I would have expected Gingrich to run for President. And there was a time I would have expected Gore to run for Senator or to lobby for a judgeship.

i think the bottom line is that it is probably a moot point to speculate about palin’s political future, today. four years is a long period of time, and there are lots of others (romney, for example) who want to have a say in this.

I’d say Palin’s grasp of the world is about that of a smart 12 year old (the type who might one day become president). So she has about 4 years to gain 20 years experience.

Also, being way ahead at this point doesn’t necessarily do much for you. We spent almost three years assuming that Hilary Clinton would run away with the Democratic nomination, but that didn’t help her in the end.
