Well… If it’s getting more difficult to see Sarah Palin as a Presidential candidate for 2012 or “2000-ever”, it’s possible that SNL has once again utilized its comedic political crystal ball and brought a little clarity to her future.

Sarah Palin
It was called the Grand Old Party. That’s what G-O-P used to stand for. Some may say it still does, but for all intents and purposes one can honestly say, there is nothing grand about the current edition of the Republican Party and it has disappeared when it’s most needed. No, I don’t mean to save the country from a liberal President or even a Democratic House and Senate. It is as simple as Ying and Yang. The honest to goodness push back of the left not by simply saying “No” but with legitimate alternative ideas to bring to the table. The left needs you, not to substitute your ideas for theirs but more so to test their ideas against yours. But where are the legitimate new ideas, ideas that were not woefully followed during the Bush Administration?
Michael Steele has become the poster child for the party’s idiosyncrasies. It is no secret that as qualified as he may be for the position, he was and clearly is a GOP push back to Obama’s candidacy and Presidency. The GOP played a not so subtle race card the same way McCain played with gender when he selected Sarah Palin for his running mate in the 2008 Presidential Election. Subsequently, both Steele and Palin made for great photo ops and the appearance that the GOP had a progressive bone in its body politic, however, at the end of the day they became thin veils inadequately masking the GOP’s internal and philosophical dysfunction.

Skittish About Change?
One hundred and twenty days ago, as a result of the 2008 Presidential election a new President was sworn into office. Americans from all walks of life voted for Barack Obama to lead the United States into a new direction. Once again, as it has done so in the past, America voted for what it perceived as change. Now, for their basic political survival, the GOP would like for nothing more than America to become overwhelmingly skittish about their vote.
A right to center friend of mine recently said to me that President Obama’s slogan “Change You Can Believe In”, was merely a catch phrase. I stated it was no different than Ronald Reagan running on “It’s Morning In America” . In each case the point was we were at a place where we needed a new direction and each candidate had to find an economic way to convey that message. Another friend of mine who recently went through a divorce told me the hardest thing about marriage is that you have to deal with another person. I laughed out loud because it was such a contradiction. What would marriage be without another person on the other end? But then the whole truth of it started to sink in and I began to think about how America voted for change and now that the process of change has begun, its’ greatest challenge is the fact that a great deal of Americans are frightened to succumb to the fact that the hardest thing about change is that it means that things will be different than before. No matter how well it was spelled out during the election, this country is not used to a candidate becoming President and then aggressively and immediately pursing the agenda they campaigned on. So what does change actually mean?
