Ugarles called this
“Sarah Oh-Twelve!” bellowed a man in field coat and jeans, one of several thousand at the Leesburg rally, when Palin spoke about her tax policies yesterday.
The oh-twelve message, if mathematically flawed, seemed to capture the crowd’s sentiment. There were “I [Heart] Palin” bumper stickers on cars, “Team Sarah” T-shirts in pink, “Sarah!” pins and countless signs: “You Go Girl.” “You’re in Palin Country.” “Maverick Barracuda.”
On the other hand, the bloom’s off the rose in the McCain camp:
One of John McCain’s advisers recently called his running mate Sarah Palin a “diva” after she went off-script at a rally, and suggested she was looking after her own political future over the current campaign. Now another adviser ups the ante in a conversation with the Politico’s Playbook, labeling Palin a “whack job.”
In related news I’m starting to feel sorry for George W. Bush. I know, I know…I’m scared too.

While I did say that Palin was setting herself up for 2012 really early on , what I think you are referring to is my call for people to hold “Palin 2010″ banners at McCain rallies.

Hey Ugarles, are we the only ones playing in this comments section anymore? Quick, let’s decorate with our Obama lawn signs and banners.

I hope Palin took over the campaign. She knows how to run a political campaign and McCain does not.

Oh yeah, I was thinking of the 2010 signs.
