Scenario: It's November, 2012 - Sarah Palin has just been elected President. What do you do?

[Taverner]

And don't give me the "There's no way" dismissal. It could happen. We all said Bush couldn't win. He did. Republicans thought Obama could never win. He did.

Me? The idea has me so horrified I'm not sure if I'd become a Canadian, a Brit or a Freedom Fighter underground in the US..

1. Probably the same thing as when * was elected.

2. Put neosporin on my rug burns

3. Not a damn thing.

I'm too old to move into another country. They wouldn't take either me or my husband since we're no longer working...

Her election could happen, but the odds are against it.

4. Remind people that the 25th amendment exists and should be exercised

Section 4. Whenever the Vice President and a majority of either the principal officers of the executive departments or of such other body as Congress may by law provide, transmit to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives their written declaration that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office, the Vice President shall immediately assume the powers and duties of the office as Acting President.

Thereafter, when the President transmits to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives his written declaration that no inability exists, he shall resume the powers and duties of his office unless the Vice President and a majority of either the principal officers of the executive department or of such other body as Congress may by law provide, transmit within four days to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives their written declaration that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office. Thereupon Congress shall decide the issue, assembling within forty-eight hours for that purpose if not in session. If the Congress, within twenty-one days after receipt of the latter written declaration, or, if Congress is not in session, within twenty-one days after Congress is required to assemble, determines by two-thirds vote of both Houses that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office, the Vice President shall continue to discharge the same as Acting President; otherwise, the President shall resume the powers and duties of his office.

5. If she's elected, the rapture really will come. n/t

6. I'll fly to the moon on my magic heffalump.

And don't give me the "there's no way" dismissal. If Sarah Palin can win the presidency, I can fly to the moon on my magic heffalump.

7. Do the handy "not MY president" thing again.

8. Pray that the world ends on Dec 21, 2012

The defeat of President Obama in 2012 is a prospect too horrible to even contemplate.

[Orsino]

9. There's no way.

But I intend to be in Canada by then, anyway, so I guess that's my plan.

10. Go for a ride on my unicorn. n/t

[SteppingRazor]

11. I'd wake up from the nightmare I'm having. n/t

[Starry Messenger]

12. Sarah Palin has less gravitas than Ron Paul

and that's saying something. It's not going to happen.

[11 Bravo]

13. We all DID NOT say Bush couldn't win. At the time he had the biggest war chest of any candidate ...

in American history. He did not have Palin's negative poll numbers (until after the dumb bastard actually held office for a while), and he had the support of moderate Republicans, not just the base.
Sarah Palin has a core constituency of rabid, slobbering, bigots, fundies, and tea-baggers. That is not enough to become the President of the United States.
I pray that the Repugs are stupid enough to nominate her, because she is unelectable.
