Republicans will react to a loss in November by declaring that John McCain was not "pure enough" to win, and that the only solution is to be even more dedicated to the Grover Norquist/James Dobson axis.
Sarah Palin will not be nominated for president in 2012 or 2016. She will almost certainly settle into FoxNews where she will form a triumvirate between Sean Hannity and Bill O'Rielly: Thundering to the faithful what treasonous, unholy actions are being taken by Godless Democrats.
The Republican nominee in 2012 will be even more radical that Sarah Palin, but also quicker on his (it will be a male) feet and able to rattle off (made up) facts with aplomb. And the campaign waged by Conservatives will be more vicious and mean spirited than anything we have seen before because a re-election of Barak Obama would grossly violate God's will for America and cause the downfall of world civilization (those are the words we will hear): Culminating with exhortations that “true Conservatives must do whatever it takes to bring God back into the White House” (with the full implications, but none of the accountability).
It will be ugly.
