Power Ticket

Can the Democrats get lucky enough to face Palin/Gingrich in 2012? That's what the Beltway insiders are saying on Hardball today. Evidently being loathed by a majority of Americans is no impediment.
I'm usually all for an easy race but I suspect that this would actually perversely result in more conservative governance than if the Republicans nominate someone more realistic. (Of course it's hard to see a scenario that won't result in more conservative governance regardless, so I suppose it doesn't matter much.)
As a blogger Palin/Gingrich is nirvana. As an American it's the 7th circle of hell.
