Even in defeat, John McCain bequeathed an invaluable gift to his running mate, Sarah Palin (pictured): the national prominence that could allow her to compete for the GOP’s presidential nomination in 2012.
While the Alaska governor avoided speculating on a future White House bid in recent interviews, she made it clear that she intends to remain an important player within the party.
The national following she has developed among the conservative faithful over the past couple of months provides her with the sort of political and fundraising base that could support a run.
Now that Palin is no longer a threat to Barack Obama, the media’s choice, she may be treated with the kindness she deserves.
After Bob Dole’s defeat in 2006, the media did a complete about face and began treating him with at least a modicum of civility.
