Palin emerges a star even in defeat, say experts

Most political students agree that Republican VP candidate Sarah Palin is now and will continue to be the darling of social conservative circles, as well as squares. The 2008 political capital she collects, according to people who are able to count political capital accurately, could propel her as a candidate for President in 2012.
 
"And we mean this," said political-capital counter Elf Woober, "even if John McCain wins."
 
Woober, who devised a specific mathematic equation to rate political capital after leaving NASA as its space-counter (Woober is said to have measured eternity by using only a compass and a rubber band). "Palin's points in this matter," he continued, "are in the millions and even if McCain becomes President she will have collected enough political capital to run against him in 2012 even if she is his Vice President."
 
But still, within Republican circles the Alaska governor who thought that there really was a town in her state called Ifanyonecan, Yukon, is looked upon as a polarizing figure.
 
"It's true," Woober said while paying his electric bill, "that Palin is a cause for concern about her party's divisions."
 
"But Christians are united by her opposition to abortion, gay rights and the fact that Robert Redford does not get good roles in movies any longer."
 
"If Republicans lose the White House she becomes one of the central figures for 2012," said Crebbs Folder, political scientist at Mulberry Grove University, a new institution with a campus due to be completed in 2009. "Clearly, Palin is a star with conservatives even though country-club Republicans find her lacking a manly look," he said.
 
Palin is a 44-year-old mother of five, a devout evangelical who chose to have a child even when she knew the child would have Down syndrome; she is a populist and she knows how to use a gun on helpless and dangerous animals.
 
A number of influential conservative Christians, including Richard Land of the Southern Baptist Convention, Robert Sea of the Northern Baptist Convention, Edward Fire of the Eastern Baptist Convention and Jeremy Brimstone of the Western Baptist Convention, support her.
