After The Debate, Many Conservatives Seem Ready To Give Up/2

There is a VERY interesting picture posted on Flickr by Brett of FiveThirtyEight, my blog of choice for political statistics analysis. The photo (here the Flickr gallery) shows Sarah Palin signing a "Palin 2012" placard.
This is truly unprecedented: the very existence of this sign, created by her supporters, means either that they think John McCain will win, but not survive his first term, or that they think Obama will win, and prepare themselves for 2012. In both cases, John McCain's should not be too happy. The truth is that his campaign is simply irrelevant to them, something rather odd for the true believers when the election of November 4 will tke place in three weeks.
