Quote:

As Ben Smith of the Politico reported over the weekend, the McCain wing of the McCain-Palin ticket is now feuding privately (or not so privately, given that it's making headlines) with the Palin wing of the ticket.

All this feuding naturally turns into speculation about motives, with the most obvious motive being that Palin can read the handwriting on the wall for 2008, knows she has little chance of becoming the next vice president of the United States and is thus angling for a presidential bid of her own in 2012. For more discussion on Palin 2012, Dan Amira of New York magazine has a nice roundup of speculation thus far from the likes of the New Republic's Jon Chait and Noam Scheiber to the Atlantic's Ross Douthat and Andrew Sullivan, among others.

Palin 2012.

Has a real nice to ring to it, actually -- but especially for Democrats and liberals, who must be pinching themselves at the very thought of it.
