[QUOTE="Werewolf, post: 1287930, member: 239"] Power is more addictive than the most addictive drugs known to man. Once you've tasted it unless you are a very special person different from most of your fellows you will want more. Palin is no different. The Presidency of the United States of America rates about as high on the power scale in the world as you can get. It may very well be the most powerful position on the planet. I cannot imagine anyone with the ambition to seek the office who goes on to win it abandoning it for any reason. It does happen, though rarely. Lyndon Johnson is an example - but then he was excoriated by the press and the people over Vietnam. He was done he knew it and abdicated the throne by refusing to run for a 2nd term. He did not abandon the office midstream. Can anyone think of any other president that refused to run for a 2nd term or one that quit in the middle of a term other than Nixon (who did it to avoid being impeached)? I cannot. The likelihood of Palin being President is pretty close to ZERO IMO but if she made it quitting is not something I see in her future. [/QUOTE]
