A Coup d'état attempt - pure and simpe
Let's take a step back. If Sarah Palin, sans gender, ran in the Republican primaries, where would she have finished? Put another way, which of the also-ran Republicans, mirror her views? Sam Brownback? Duncan Hunter? Fred Thompson? Tommy Thompson? Tom Tancredo? Mike Huckabee? Where did they finish? Except for Huckabee, the rest dropped out quickly in the race. So, fundamentally, the only way a Sarah Palin can make it into power is through the back door.

If McCain is indeed elected, I think Palin will be relegated to a ceremonial VP position, attending funerals, anniversaries and coronations.
I'm assuming she'll also be McCain's bridge to the evangelical right, will oversee faith based initiatives, and so on. As such I would hardly consider that a coup.
What's frightening of course is what happens if McCain isn't able to see through his term ...
